There is something special about travelling by train. The sense of moving through the countryside, yet feeling a part of it at the same time, the excitement and romanticism of journeying to undiscovered places or returning to your favourite haunts, the freedom to bury yourself in a novel, converse with travelling companions and complete strangers or gaze out on the unfolding landscape.

These days travelling to and around continental Europe by train is exciting, effortless and highly enjoyable. In the space of a day you can be in Barcelona, Berlin or Milan. International trains are getting faster and more stylish, new stations have revived the glamour of rail travel and environmental concerns have made travelling by train the obvious choice.
