FROM LONDON TO CALCUTTA TO LONDON


FROM LONDON TO CALCUTTA TO LONDON

"Don't be surprised by the picture.

It is true that once you could go from Calcutta to London by bus...because then the world's longest road was from Calcutta to London.

And this route used to walk as well.

Not Indian or English but Sydney Albert Tour and Travels Company has started this service.

Lasted almost 25 years since early 1950s.

Had to shut it down later for some reason.

The rent was just from 85 pounds to 145 pounds.

Starting from Kolkata to Banaras, Allahabad, Agra, Delhi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Kabul Kandhar, Tehran, Istanbul to Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Vienna to West Germany and Belgium, this bus used to reach London.

During this time, it used to run about 20300 km and crossed 11 countries."
