The 9.54 from Great Malvern

This book tells the story of the author’s overland journey around the globe.  A circumnavigation starting from Great Malvern in Worcestershire, England and using the world’s public transport.  A journey designed to join together buses, boats and, especially, trains – the Trans-Siberian, the railway to Tibet (the highest in the world), Malaysia’s Jungle Line, Australia’s Indian Pacific, Amtrak and many others.  Crossing the Pacific Ocean by hitching a lift on a container ship.  Meeting so many people in so many countries, experiencing their natural generosity and learning the negligible differences between us.  A global journey with an intention to observe and not to judge.  Travelling ever forward to the destination of home.
