James Joyce went by train from Dublin to Trieste. A hundred years on, it’s a very different experience It is more than a century since Joyce crossed Europe by rail but there is still inspiration to be found on the overland journey to Trieste

Hello! New to using this platform, but thought to share a piece I wrote for @theguardian.com about long distance train travel and the lineage of writers who have traversed Europe by rail.
