125 Hours - Europe’s Longest Train Journey: From the Arctic to the Atlantic

Hello folks! In this video, we document the longest possible train journey from point to point within the European Union, a record-breaking adventure by Jon Worth. 🚆🇪🇺

From Kemijärvi, Finland all the way down to Lagos, Portugal.

Thanks to the reopening of the cross-border line between Tornio (Finland) and Haparanda (Sweden) in August 2026, this journey is now possible again after nearly four decades. Enjoy the journey!
