by Adrian Brunei
During nearly forty years in films, most of them as a director, Adrian Brunei has travelled a great deal in Europe and Africa. He has made journeys by land, sea, and air, but in his view the most enjoyable way to travel is by train. He gives his reasons for this, and describes some of the interesting people he has met on trains.
