* Day 0, Friday: Dudes gather in and around London.

* Day 1, Saturday: Train to Paris/Brussels/Cologne and a day there. Overnight train to, let's say Warsaw. We could get to Moscow by Monday morning on a direct train, but the trans-siberian doesn't leave until Tuesday evening.

* Day 2, Sunday: Warsaw, explore it, overnight train to Kiev

* Day 3, Monday: Kiev, explore it, overnight train to Moscow

Line 37:

* Day 15, Saturday: One glorious day in Tokyo, or something

* Day 16, Sunday: Morning in Toyko, and fly home.

Um. Thinking about minimising necessary amounts of work-leave. Tuesday is the date with absolute rest around which everything must be arranged; if we work backwards and get from London to Moscow as quickly as is trainially possible, then that fixes our start point while allowing the maximum amount of time to play with post-TSR. On that basis I (Smith) would be willing to sacrifice any of the pre-Moscow stops, in order to allow a greater proportion of the presumed maximum duration to occur in the Orient. tl;dr I feel we should get out there as fast as we can and not piss about with seeing Eastern Europe

Let's see if there are any efficiency savings to be had from doing it in reverse:
