My name is Ed Greig and I'm currently recording a radio programme for the BBC in England centered around what is (by some measure at least) the longest railway journey in the world: around 17,852 km from Villa Real de Santa Antonio in Portugal to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam via the Trans Siberian. I'm currently in Poland but if you'd like to follow the trip you can do so on http://www.edrail.com All the best,
Ed

Good luck. A route summary and schedule would be useful for those who don't have time to read everything - I'm only interested in the train part, not the guide book style entries.
The second link works; the first link has a full stop terminating the link which is not a healthy Internet URL.

I realise that the content does not really yet cater to a discerning railfan. I wish I had found out more information about all the traction I've so far used. I do have photos of almost all of them, which I guess I could put in a seperate folder. I'll try and put up a seperate page with schedule and route information. What would you be most interested in? The times and stations, or information about the trains themselves?
Many thanks for correcting the link. I have gone back and edited it to avoid any confusion.

I guess you're catering for all tastes, not just railfans. I'm not too bothered about the traction as such, just a rough itinerary like this: 1st March, 09:00, board London to Paris train 11:00, arrive Paris Overnight Paris 2nd Match 10:15 board Orient Express to Istanbul (I wish!) etc

What you mean is "the longest shortest route between any two railway stations on earth, entirely by rail" Considering your itinerary, it looks to me that you're taking quite a few detours as well though Great pics! Keep'em coming!
