A facsimile edition of Bradshaw’s Continental Railway Guide to Europe’s rail network.

Bradshaw’s Continental Railway Guide, originally published in 1913, was the inspiration behind Michael Portillo’s BBC television series, Great Continental Railway Journeys. This guide is divided into three sections: timetables for services covering the continent, short guides to the best places to see and stay in each city, and a wealth of advertisements and ephemeral materials concerning hotels, restaurants, and services that might be required by early twentieth-century rail travellers.

This beautifully illustrated facsimile edition offers a fascinating glimpse of Europe and a transport network that was shortly devastated by the greatest war the world had ever seen.
