Slow Trains Around Britain by Tom Chesshyre

Slow Trains Around Britain by Tom Chesshyre

Join travel writer Tom Chesshyre as he celebrates 200 years of passenger railways in a zigzagging tour around the UK. On a series of rides, Tom enjoys the scenery, seeks out the history and heritage, dodges delays (best he can), and lets the rhythm of the clattering rails help him understand what it is about trains that we love so much.

Tom Chesshyre is the author of thirteen travel books. He has travelled more than 40,000 miles around the world for his train books, which have included Slow Trains Around Spain: A 3,000-Mile Adventure on 52 Rides and Ticket to Ride: Around the World on 49 Unusual Train Journeys. His book writing has also taken him across North Africa after the Arab Spring, round the "dark side" of the Maldives on cargo ships, along the length of the River Thames, around the Lake District on a long hike, and on a journey through "unsung Britain" (for To Hull and Back). He worked on the travel desk of The Times for 21 years and is now freelance, contributing to the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday and The New European magazines. He lives in London.
