Far Out: By Train to the Edges of Europe

By Jules Brown

Travel writer Jules Brown is back with another wayward rail adventure.

When Jules sets out to go as far as he can in Europe by train, everything seems to be on track. Travel to the most extreme stations in the north, south, east, and west. How hard can it be for a seasoned rail traveller and ex guidebook writer?

Funny you should ask.

It's a long way, for a start - from Scandinavia and Finland to the shores of the Mediterranean and Atlantic. Even the final destinations are in dispute. In fact, no one sensible would try it.

Enter Jules. Whether it's travelling through the Swedish wilderness on the Inlandsbanan, into the Pyrenees on the Train Jaune, or across Spain on the Torre Oro, he's aiming for some classic rail experiences. And while capital cities and famous sights come and go, there are also plenty of offbeat and intriguing stops along the way.

Part travelogue, part memoir, and definitely not a guidebook, Far Out is another snort-in-your-coffee train adventure by the author of Not Cool: Europe by Train in a Heatwave.
