April 01, 2021 AndyB in conversation with Mark Smith, The Man in Seat61, about Britain's Scenic Railways
Britain is blessed with a rail network that showcases the beauty of the nation. From the West Highland Line in Scotland - Mark Smith says it is perfection travelling on the Caledonian Sleeper heading north and opening the blind in the morning and soak in the scenery.
The Welsh Coast, the Settle and Carlisle line, saved from closure by Michael Portillo, and the south west line along the coast at Dawlish and heading further to Cornwall are all firm favorites of both AndyB and Mark.
So join us and "come along for the ride"!

Travelling overnight to arrive refreshed and ready for a day's business or fun is a delightful way to go. Britain has sleeper trains linking London with the West Country, on the Night Rivera, and London to Scotland, on the Caledonian Sleeper.
AndyB and Mark discuss the history of sleepers, where we are now and what could be possible in the future.
So "come along for the ride"!

Seat61.com is probably the only place out there that covers all the permutations of Rail/Sail, from North Sea to Irish Sea and across The Channel....
