The Winners

Congratulations to our randomly selected winners:

Sophie Harris:

My favourite train journey is the 6 miles by steam engine from Norden to Swanage. It really makes me feel like I've stepped back in time, real time stops and I lose myself in a daydream of adventures. Such a relaxing and enjoyable journey.

Graham Morgan:

The journey from Crewe is the most enjoyable I know. There is a variety of scenery ranging from the flat Cheshire plains to the rolling hills of Shropshire and the mountain ranges in South Wales!

Paul Griffin:

Flamsbana, Norway, expensive but stunning, hugging the mountains down from a snow covered plateau into the Fjords.

George Thomas:

The Far North Line from Inverness to Wick and Thurso is my favourite.

Grace Bushby:

Best train journey..aberystwyth to shrewsbury... Raw Welsh beauty all year round.. no two journeys are ever the same.

We will be sending you each a copy of 'Tales from Fast Trains – Europe at 186 MPH’ by Tom Chesshyre.

Thank you all for your entries, and watch this space for more competitions!

About the Book

Tired of airport security queues, delays and all those extra taxes and charges, Tom Chesshyre embarks on a series of high-speed adventures across the Continent on its fast trains instead.

From shiny London St Pancras, Tom travels to places that wouldn’t feature on a standard holiday wish-list, and discovers the hidden delights of mysterious Luxembourg, super-trendy Rotterdam, much-maligned Frankfurt and lovely lakeside Lausanne, via a pop concert in Lille. It’s 186mph all the way – well, apart from a power cut in the Channel Tunnel on the way to Antwerp.

Is our idea of ‘Europe’ changing as its destinations become easier to reach? And what fun can you have at the ends of the lines? Jump on board and find out!’
