Welcome to harryburr.com
I’m Harry – a transport communications professional with a keen interest in rail, travelling, and understanding and how people experience the world. This site is where I document journeys, explore ideas in my blog, and share my own projects shaped by personal curiosity.
From visiting every railway station, to sharing photos and thoughts from across the UK, mainland Europe and beyond – some of my posts are practical, and others reflective and conceptual. Whether you are here for inspiration or information, you’re very welcome.
Feel free to explore, or get in touch if you like. My About page is a good place to start, if you are in doubt.
Journeys
A growing collection of the routes I’ve travelled – from local trips to cross-country adventures. Explore interactive maps of all of these trips.
Photos
I take photos wherever I go, particularly of railways and other forms of transport. My best ones are on Flickr – where you can see my latest work.
Stations
My challenge to visit every railway station in three particular countries, while capturing the people, places, and experiences that make each stop unique.
Want to hear more from me?
Once a month, I send a round-up of what I’ve been doing and thinking about. It brings together new posts from the website, recent journeys, photo work and a few reflections that don’t always make it into a full article. Interested? Subscribe using the form below.

Stretching the limits of continental rail staff travel (FIP)
FIP is, in the main, a railway benefit (and one of my favourites at that). Show your coupon or discount card, board a train and enjoy Europe at a frankly ridiculous value. But spend enough…

The rail network of… this place?
It’s hard to know what to call “this place”. It’s not a city-region, or a corridor, and definitely not a country. It’s almost a slice of Europe wrapped around the eastern edge of Lake Constance…

A day trip to Liechtenstein (and yes, I went to all the stations…)
As part of a much wider rail adventure across Europe (full write-up and map coming soon), I found myself carving out a day to visit one of the continent’s more unusual countries, including for its…

A night in a mini-cabin: trying the New Generation Nightjet
Trying the new-generation Nightjet – operated by the Austrian state railway operator OBB – had been on my rail bucket list for a while, particularly the much-debated mini cabins. During my February 2026 journey, I…

What makes a good city… to me?
Ask ten people what makes a great city and you will get ten different answers. Nightlife, museums, food scenes, affordability, prestige. There is an almost universal assumption that the best cities are the ones that…
