British and former British Railways employee Mark Smith founded the website “The Main in Seat 61” in 2001 (while still working at British Railways). The aim of the establishment is to help passengers for whom the train is their favorite means of transport and who often choose rail transport. Mark Smith started the website out of frustration caused by bad railway websites across Europe. On his website, information about train transportation from all over the world is gathered (timetables, routes, stations, classes, ticket prices, etc.). For Mark Smith, this job soon became the main and only job that has remained to this day. All people who love trains and rail transport will find detailed information about rail transport around the world on this portal.
