Between 1980 and 2011 author Michael Patterson made some forty
week-long journeys by train through Europe. With camera at the
ready and notebook or tape recorder in hand, he travelled each day,
stopping off at places along the route. To reach the extremities of
Scandinavia, Italy, Spain and Portugal on these no-fly trips
Michael often travelled overnight by sleeping car and it is these
journeys which are at the heart of this book. Utilising a splendid
collection of images, Michael details the sleepers themselves as
well as recalling this unique and exciting mode of transport from a
bygone age. From journeying on the famous London to Brussels 'Night
Ferry' service to breakfasting in the faded splendour of a Spanish
restaurant car built in 1928, this is a wonderfully nostalgic and
often amusing trip across Europe with a true railway aficionado.
With an array of images supplemented by maps of these famous
routes, Michael Patterson captures the essence of travelling across
Europe in the comfort of a sleeping car.
