Lille – London St Pancras – London Euston – Stafford – Stone
Tirano – Pontresina – Samedan – Chur – Basel – Strasbourg – Paris – Lille
Verona – Florence – La Spezia – Cinque Terre (Manarola and Vernazza) – La Spezia
Vienna – Bruck an der Mur – Leoben – Stainach Irdning – Attnang Puchheim – Salzburg

Wernigerode – Magdeburg – Rosslau – Berlin
Wernigerode – Brocken – Wernigerode
OK that’s a real mouthful. HSB is better known to English speakers as the Harz railway, a network of narrow gauge railways, of which the line to the summit of the Brocken is the most dramatic.
Antwerp – Breda – Eindhoven – Venlo – Breyell – Wuppertal – Hannover – Goslar – Wernigerode.
