Making tracks Posted on July 23rd
Gasoline prices get you coming and going, so make the Man in Seat Sixty-One, www.seat61.com, your buddy if you’d prefer to ride the rails and seas.
What’s hot, what’s not: The site’s forte is Britain and Europe, but I also found tips and information on routes, timetables and links to rail booking engines and Web sites on other continents.
Its U.S. section contained information on Amtrak but missed out on regional passenger carriers.
If you are plane-phobic, you’ll find a route from London to Australia or the States without having to take wing. Ship info is not as comprehensive.
