The Man in #Seat61 seems like a relic from a forgotten age of the #Internet.

Seat61.com is a genuinely useful website created by just one guy, a train travel enthusiast who has curated a vast array of information that will help anyone who would like to travel in #Europe by #train

He is not trying to sell you anything and there are no adverts (apart from a few affiliate ids).

His website has won various "best travel website" awards. Notably the last one was in 2012.

@strangequark To me it's an impressive proof that even on a planet with billions of people, you can still become the world expert on something that everyone has access to simply by keeping at it.

I've thought of doing similar for European ferries, I've never found an equivalent site for that.
