NO LONGER POSSIBLE! Longest train journey in the world and how it has changed since 2019.

While self-isolating due to a Covid-19 scare, I checked out the website www.vimeo.com for inspiration. I decided to condense my 16-part series on Youtube, lasting 3 hours, into a 15 minute highlight video. Unfortunately the video exceeded the 500MB free allowance. As most subscribers to Planes, Trains, Everything have joined after the 2019 series of videos were uploaded, I have decided to show the 15-minute version and also discuss, at the end, why this journey can't be done until the pandemic is over, and what changes will take place.
