Development is already underway to extend the line on to Bangkok and then eventually through Malaysia to Singapore, but that journey can be already made by switching train lines at those points.
Reddit user htGoSEVe posted a map of the potential rail voyage, later updating his post to reflect the fact that sections of the journey - from Lisbon to Hendaye in France, and the Paris-Moscow Express, for example - have been paused during the pandemic.
Rail enthusiasts estimate that it would cost a little over ￡1,000 in tickets.
铁路爱好者估计，票价将超过 1000 英镑（约新台币 36869 元）
