Apparently it would take 67 hours and 3 minutes to travel from Moscow to

No wonder people take the plane!!

But joking apart, I did consider going to Lisbon by train, thinking it
wasn't that much further than the south of France, but it's almost 24hrs
from Paris, change Irun (where's that??)

It's where standard gauge runs out and you have to change onto a Spanish
gauge train (or if on a through train where the wheel gauge is changed)
