About Route Nerd

Route Nerd is for travellers who are as interested in how they get somewhere as where they end up.

The journey deserves a page of its own

Most travel guides treat transport as a problem to solve. Route Nerd looks for the train, ferry, airport, road or piece of infrastructure that makes the trip memorable.

Detailed, but never exclusionary

There is room here for vehicle types, gradients, unusual operations and station architecture. There is also room for anyone who simply thinks a sleeper train sounds better than another short flight.
