Welcome to our Winterrail blog. On December 28th, we head off to Tromso in Northern Norway and then onwards to Narvik, home to the most northerly station in the European rail network. Our goal: to make our way to the most southerly (in southern Sicily) over the following 6 weeks.

Stop by the blog to see how we’re getting on, and follow our progress as we journey from polar nights to the first signs of spring in southern Italy
