Hello! New to using this platform, but thought to share a piece I wrote for @theguardian.com about long distance train travel and the lineage of writers who have traversed Europe by rail. www.theguardian.com/travel/2025/...

theguardian.com

James Joyce went by train from Dublin to Trieste. A hundred years on, it’s a very different experience

It is more than a century since Joyce crossed Europe by rail but there is still inspiration to be found on the overland journey to Trieste
