Where did the Orient Express run from?
The Orient Express reached the height of its popularity in the 1930s, when three parallel services ran. These included the Orient Express, the Simplon Orient Express, which took a more southerly route via Milan, Venice and Trieste, and also the Arlberg Orient Express, which ran via Zurich and Innsbruck to Budapest, with sleeper cars running onwards from there to Bucharest and Athens.
