Join him on a whistle-stop tour of some of the most exhilarating journeys around the globe, from Sri Lanka to Tehran and beyond.

1 'Trains, dry wit, more trains, evocative descriptions, more trains, fascinating people and more trains - what is there not to like?' -- Christian Wolmar 'Funny and illuminating from Crewe to Korea, Ticket to Ride is a hugely entertaining account of the author's travels on the rails the world over - chance encounters fly like sparks' -- Sara Wheeler 'Like mini-odysseys, Chesshyre's railway journeys are by turns gentle and awesome, and full of surprises' -- John Gimlette 'Tom's ticket certainly scores all the best rides: fast rides and slow ones, short trips and long ones. But most important are the names: why would any trainspotter (let alone a gricer) pass up the Reunification Express or, even better the Orient Express, for a mere airplane?' -- Tony Wheeler
