(Upper-Intermediate) Michael Palin on The Nile Valley Express - BBC


Travelling on a single track across empty desert when your train keeps breaking down for unspecified periods tends to spark the imagination.

Watch:

Michael Palin on precarious train journey

Which desert does the train cross?

What are the stations called?

Why was the train line across the desert built?

Why does the train carry two or three labourers?

What joke does Michael make about the word "dessert"?

What is "roof class"?

Why did Michael tell the roof class passengers about bridges?
