Venice Simplon
Orient-Express
 

Shirley Sherwood

This beautifully illustrated book traces the history of luxury train travel in Europe, including famous services such as the old Orient-Express, the Golden Arrow and the Train Bleu. The author details the story of each car in the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, revealing its links with politics, royalty and international intrigue.

In addition to the restoration of the Orient Express this book covers two new ventures: the Eastern and Oriental Express luxury service between Singapore and Bangkok, launched in 1993 and the Road to Mandalay, a cruise ship on the Irrawaddy river in Burma which started in 1996
