Country Rail Guides
Rail Travel in Canada
A practical intercity corridor between Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa. Two legendary long-distance sleeper trains. And the Rocky Mountaineer for those with deeper pockets. Canada by rail is three different experiences.
Rail Travel in Ireland
Two jurisdictions, two operators, one surprisingly good rail network. Everything you need to plan, book, and ride.
Rail Travel in New Zealand
Three spectacular scenic trains, one famous ferry, and a coach connection through glacier country. This is not commuter rail. This is the journey as the destination.
Rail Travel in Switzerland
The best rail network in the world, and it is not particularly close. Half-hourly intercity trains, legendary scenic routes, mountain railways to 3,454 metres, and a travel pass system that actually makes sense.
Rail Travel in Thailand
Overnight sleeper trains that still run the way they used to across the rest of Asia. Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Bangkok to the islands, Bangkok to the Laos border. Plus a surprisingly good urban rail network in the capital.
