One man's hand-written guide to reaching anywhere by train and ferry.
Mark Smith has been writing this since 2001: country-by-country pages explaining exactly which train to take, which booking site sells the cheapest ticket, when reservations open, what the sleeper compartments are actually like and how to cross a border that no journey planner handles. It is prose and photographs rather than a search box, and it is more accurate than most operators' own websites. For overland travel it has no real competitor.
Questions
Works the moment the page loads. No account, no email, no trial. It is a written guide, not a booking engine or a timetable — nothing here is live, so check dates against the operator.
Yes. The Man in Seat 61 sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
