Traincatcher: Adventures of a Rail Traveller

by Colin Taylor

Many of those who board a train have as their purpose not the destination but the journey itself. From his 60 years plus of travelling of trains around the world, well-known rail commentator, Brisbane-based Colin Taylor, here recounts his most memorable experiences, rates the best and worst passenger trains he has traveled on, and takes an incisive look at the often idiosyncratic practices of the managements who are responsible for the operations of them. This is a well-written, highly entertaining book that will be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys travelling on trains! Illustrated with maps, photos and timetable extracts.
