>> The Man in Seat 61
I don't often come accross a site brimming with passion and expertise in equal measure, but this hugely comprehensive personal guide to travelling the world by rail and sea is an unexpected pleasure. What could have been a dull read appealing only to text-book trainspotters is actually the web's best resource for personal information on overseas rail travel.
The Man in Seat 61 is Mark Smith - a self-proclaimed career railwayman who has travelled most of the world's great rail journeys, and successfully evokes the golden era of foreign travel, where the ultimate thrill was being invited to dine on the Captain's table, and it wasn’t a proper holiday if you didn't bump into Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple at some point during the journey!
