Can you buy a direct ticket?

If so, from where?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Pure sensationalism.

You can't even get to Taiwan by ferry any more - let alone by train.
Taiwan's one and only ferry company which had a weekly sailing to Japan went
into liquidation a couple of weeks ago. See

Follow the link "schedule and costs" on pg 2. There is no direct
ticket. The poor guy isn't even traveling 1st class.

My only experience of sleeper trains in Russia was mercifully limited
to one night, and that was 1st class - you get chintz curtains on the
windows and some artificial flowers. I had entertained ideas of getting
a shower, but the after taking one look at the gigantic water boiler
with its mysterious nickel plated taps and warning messages in Russian,
I thought the better of it. By the time I reached my destination at
6AM, I checked straight into a hotel and tried to recover some lost
sleep in bed.
