Description
Tom Chesshyre's journey takes him to some unexpected destinations across Europe, all accessible by high-speed train. From London St Pancras to Luxembourg, Rotterdam, Frankfurt and Lausanne, he discovers the hidden charms of these often-overlooked places.
Along the way, he encounters a pop concert in Lille and experiences the thrill of travel at 186 mph - apart from a brief interruption in the Channel Tunnel. As Chesshyre explores the ends of the lines, he raises questions about how our idea of Europe is changing with its destinations becoming easier to reach.
Join Tom on his high-speed adventures as he reveals the fun and surprises that can be found at the edges of the European rail network.
