After a career in the railways Mark Smith realised something was missing in the panoply of travel advice: how to travel across Europe by train with ease. He set up a blog as the man in seat61 - a name he borrowed from a surprising source - and its now one of the most consulted websites for people seeking surface travel rather than flying direct to their destination.
