TRANS SIBERIAN RAILWAY - Clive Simpson

This journal records my travel on the world's longest railway journey the 'Trans-Siberian' as part of a 7,650 mile trip by train from Northwich in the UK to Shanghai in China in May 2006 taking 13 days, passing through 9 countries and 9 time zones.
The journal covers the planning and preparation in the months leading upto the day of departure, and a daily log of the trip, including the places I will have seen and the people I have met. It also includes the activities after arriving home such as updating the journal and sorting through the hundreds of photographs, plus the thoughts and recollections from this long journey that will no doubt continue way into the future. The journal also serves as detailed and useful advice to inspire and assist others who may be contemplating a similar trip.

Some Last Thoughts Europe » United Kingdom » England » Cheshire » Northwich

This 7,650 mile journey by train across 2 continents was a great adventure stirring the emotions and far exceeding my expectations. It took me nearly half way round the globe providing the opportunity to see vast contrasts of scenic beauty, culture and climate in a short space of time. The thoughts and recollections from the journey will no doubt continue way into the future. For those who think the 'Trans-Siberian' is just another train journey, apart from it being the longest train journey in the world, it is much much more than that : it’s an adventure and one of the [View Full Entry]

Introduction Europe » United Kingdom » England » Cheshire » Northwich

Coming from a family that has always had strong connections with railways, I have always had an interest in trains from being a small child. Therefore I suppose it was only natural that I would always have a fascination about what it would be like to travel on the world's longest railway journey, the 'Trans-Siberian'. This was probably fueled in the last few years by watching with envy the travels of Michael Palin in his many BBC TV programmes taking unusual journeys across the globe. The 'Trans-Siberian Railway' is a working railway and in fact one of the busiest in the [View Full Entry]
