Horrendously filled with marketing hype - yep, good story. I understand that there's transhipment at the break(s) of gauge so not quite a through train.  So - containers via the Red Sea or via Russia, folks

I amazed by the amount of freight traffic here about on the continent - passenger traffic very much in the minority is some places and the are a significant number of main lines - mostly across borders - that are freight only.
