Another video this week, I am breaking off from the China film series to show you this journey from Moscow to Beijing that I made in 2012 as an alternative to the usual long haul flight. The original video (Slow Train to China) was about an hour and a half with an extensive tour of Moscow at the outset, but this severely edited version concentrates on the journey itself and is about 25 minutes long.
I had been suggesting to my wife that we fly to Moscow some time and do a repeat, but it seems the service has been suspended or even terminated. I think there may be a proposal to set up a Chinese style 350 kph service, about five times faster! If so, this romantic journey — a six day party! - can never be repeated.
