Why it's the pick
Seat61 is one man's hugely detailed guide to train and ferry travel in almost every country: which routes exist, where to book the cheapest tickets and what the trains are like. Free and run as a hobby; some booking links earn him a commission. Trainline books UK and European tickets, and Chronotrains maps how far you can get in a few hours.
