About Slowline
We never liked airports either.
Slowline began in 2016 with one founder, one Interrail pass and a spreadsheet of sleeper timetables. It is now eleven people and six routes.
How we think about it
A flight gets you there. A train shows you everything in between: the back gardens, the vineyards, the border you would never have noticed from the air.
01
Slow is the point
No day has more than one train. If you are rushing, we planned it badly.
02
Small enough to fit a carriage
Fourteen guests, one host. Everybody gets a window and nobody gets a lanyard.
03
The honest carbon number
Every trip comes with its footprint against flying it. So far, 92% lower on average.
Your hosts
