A second collection of enthralling accounts of the most spectacular train trips from around the world
Readers will be immersed in evocative accounts of the Desert Express from Windhoek in Namibia, the stupendous Chinese feat of civil engineering that pushed a railway across the permafrost to Lhasa in Tibet, the scenic Coast Starlight train from Seattle to L.A., and a stupendous 2,000-mile trip across India, from Gujarat's parched salt flats to the lush semitropics of Assam. Following on Last Call for the Dining Car, Michael Kerr has compiled a hugely engrossing second volume of armchair travel on trains around the world, from such authors as Gavin Bell, John Betjeman, Jenny Diski, Simon Heffer, Dervla Murphy, Nicholas Shakespeare, and Alexander McCall Smith.
