A travel by train is always worthy of savouring. A journey is worth its length. The yester generations cherished travel by talking a lot during the journey with their co-travellers and gained many experience – modern day youth would get closed with their mobile phone and earpiece getting engrossed.Though the first thing that attracted was ‘window seat’ – the most popular advice perhaps those days (4 decades ago) was not to sit near the window and look out when the train chugged out of station – for those days, engines were powered by coal and fine coal dust would be in the air and could fall in eyes.As you traverse along, you look outside to see a bowler starting his run up; your neck would turn and remain glued till the small ground goes out of sight – you might never know what happened to that ball – the sight of trees running past in the opposite direction as the train moves is indeed a great sight. In those days, whenever the train stopped at any station, people would hurriedly get down to fill up their containers with water from taps on the platform. The longest rail journey in the world starts in Moscow and ends in Vladivostok. The train crosses several time zones and in addition to the endless birch trees of Siberia the scenery includes the Ural mountains and Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world.

The train departing from Yiwu, a city that thrives on commodity trade, in central Zhejiang province winds through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France to arrive in London.
