Anything is possible but how likely is this? B*gger all has been built of the Trans-Asian Railway since the project started in the '60s (see Wikipedia), the biggest problem being the changes of gauge from one country to another. Still, this article came from the "Islamic Republic News Agency", so it must be worth posting, eh?

I took the train from Peterborough (small city about 100 miles north of London) to Bangkok. Unfortunately I had to use 2 buses as well en route... an experience, but I don't think I'll be doing it again.
