Great story, thanks for posting!
It sure took nerve to be a passenger on that journey...
I wonder if it could be done today, with the current political climate?
And how long would it take with whatever improvements have been made since then?

I always dreamed of taking a drive from the top of Alaska, to the bottom of Chile on the "Pan American Highway", but there is that insurmountable gap between Panama and Columbia.

Oh, that was in the story:

"Now more than forty years later, an India-based travel operator Adventures Overland announced a bus service from New Delhi to London and back, covering 20,000 km and travelling through 18 countries in 70 days. The service was supposed to start in 2021, but got delayed, probably due to the Covid pandemic. The first bus is expected to leave in April next year."

Given its routing through Russia, I doubt that too many holding a Western Europe or US Passport will be on that bus.
