NEW MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA

Stamp issued by the Country of George to show the about to be completed rail line between the cities of Kars, Turkey, Tbilisi, Georgia and Baku, Azerbaijan.

BUCKET LIST ADDITION—By Claire Bentley, Holiday Guru for British Airways-- Catch the midnight train to Georgia isn’t just a catchy ’70s soul song, it’s a new railway line from Baku in Azerbaijan to Kars in Turkey via Georgia’s Tbilisi. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2015 and offers a new way to see all three countries. It’s part of the high-speed rail corridor from Europe to Asia, which provides a direct link to Europe. With Azerbaijan’s burgeoning cultural scene and the lure of the less-travelled path to Georgia, it’s a sure-fire, envious ‘like’.
