Travel Writing set on a Train – Pamela Mulloy

Trains are a marvellous way to travel – there’s something very special about the noise and atmosphere on board. Some trains you can sleep on and that’s magic in itself as you can wake up in a whole new place from where you went to sleep. Train travel is very relaxing and that rhythmic jolt and clicking noise is a lovely way to get to sleep.

You can read on trains too without getting travel sick and that’s why I love them!

A book I wanted to read straight away as I LOVE train travel and went on the best one ever in Canada!

This author is Canadian and writes about the journey from Toronto to Montreal which I remember fondly. The best one I have ever been on however is the one from Calgary to Vancouver through the Rockies. It had a glass roof and it was the most amazing journey I have ever been on!

Anyway, I digress. This book just seemed a great and very interesting way to write about trains in general and how the development of the railways has been so significant in history. I also have a keen interest in the way the Canadian railway first began (having stopped off at some very cute, remote stations there!) and this book covered that too.

It’s a very personal book in many ways as the author writes about her experiences and how Covid affected travel for all of us. What I really liked were the famous trains such as the Orient Express and the famous and real life train stories such as the one where Charles Dickens was the victim of a crash.

The book indulges your love of train travel if you’re like me, or whets your appetite for more of the same.

Recommended!
