Mark Smith, aka the Man In Seat 61, shares his 10 favourite European rail journeys…

#1: London-Fort William by ‘Caledonian Sleeper

No matter where I go in the world, I keep coming back to this train as one of my all-time favourites.

Leave London in the evening, sit back on the real leather sofas (yes, really) in the lounge car with a wee dram of Glenfiddich, then retire to your cosy 1 or 2 bed sleeper, wake up in the middle of the West Highlands, with streams, mountains, gnarled oak tress and deer bounding away from the train.

Those deeer give it its unofficial name – “The Deerstalker”.
