Why do people love trains so much? Tom Chesshyre is on a mission to find the answer by experiencing the world through train travel - on both epic and everyday rail routes, aboard every type of ride, from steam locomotives to bullet trains, meeting a cast of memorable characters who share a passion for train travel. Join him on the rails and off the beaten track as he embarks on an exhilarating whistle-stop tour around the globe, on journeys on celebrated trains and railways including India's famed toy train, Sri Lanka's Reunification Express, the Indian Pacific across the Australian outback, and the picturesque rail journeys of the Scottish Highlands. Plus trains through Kosovo, North Macedonia, Turkey, Iran, Finland, Russia, America, France and China, with short interludes in North Korea, Italy, Poland, Peru, Switzerland, England and Lithuania. All aboard!
