Over the last two & a half years, Chris Tarrant has travelled, literally, all around the world filming Extreme Railway Journeys for Channel 5. The hugely successful TV series is already being repeated, & broadcast rights have been, & continue to be, picked up in other countries, while it is also being released on DVD.

Chris's journeys have taken him to the Congo, India, Australia, Bolivia (twice), Japan, Siberia, Myanmar, Canada & Cuba, & the latest programmes see the completion of filming in Alaska, Argentina, Azerbaijan, South Africa & Zimbabwe. Chris Tarrant's Extreme Railway Journeys brings to life beautifully not only the romance of travelling by train, but also the sights, sounds & smells of the countries & places visited, while also illuminating the customs & attitudes of the people the author encountered along the way. But, as he says, 'I should have known what I was in for & what the word "extreme" means, when the very first show saw us filming in the Congo
- where the train was six DAYS late.'

Beautifully illustrated with exclusive colour photographs, Extreme Railway Journeys is not only a record of remarkable journeys in extraordinary places by one of our shrewdest commentators. It is also a demonstration of the principle that 'to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.'

This hardback book has 320 pages & measures: 25.2 x 19.5 x 2.4cm.
