Chris Tarrant's Extreme Railway Journeys: Australia's Outback Railways
- Details
For many rail travelers, it’s not the destination that matters, it’s the track. And that has helped make a hit of the British television series, Chris Tarrant's Extreme Railway Journeys, which airs on ABC Television. The show features British radio and television personality Chris Tarrant taking some of the most challenging rail trips in the world. “It’s rarely the most efficient way to travel, and it often struggles to compete with even a bus or a car, but a train is almost always a fantastic experience. This is the best way to see these countries,” says Hugh Whitworth, the show’s executive producer. He shares some favorite journeys with Larry Bleiberg for USA TODAY. Featured trips include the Ghan and Pichi Richi Railway.
