    I have, but it was the proper timetabled one, not the tourist one.

        Two years ago I got a train from Budapest to Bucharest then the Bosphorus Express to Istanbul. First bit was good, second bit scared me tulipless.

            My Mum has always wanted to do that, but VERY expensive..... Maybe you could put it under your travel experiences

              Did a day trip on one of the trains the company runs in the UK - great experience.

                I've done the Transiberian, well, a third of it.

                Boring.

                  Is it me or is Vienna not the Orient?

                  What's that über expensive luxury train that goes around Scotland? That also doesn't go to The Orient.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
