Who is the Man in Seat 61?
I'm Mark Smith, and I live in an English village in deepest Buckinghamshire, with Dutch wife Nicolette, son Nathaniel, daughter Katelijn, cats Phoenix & Rosie & Pip the crazy cockapoo.
Many years ago I ran away from Oxford to join the circus - or as we called it in those days, British Rail.
[snip]
I've travelled the world on trains & ships and I've been on the other side of the counter too - in university vacations I worked for Transalpino, a European rail ticketing agency in London issuing tickets and advising travel agents on train travel across Europe. Now I can share that knowledge online. See awards & press room...

"The Man in Seat 61" has had numerous mentions on the Coffee Shop over the years, but never (until now) his own thread.
