Rome2rio did a new version for 2016 in the same style, which is juxtaposed to the 1914 version to show how travel times have changed. It was big on Reddit a couple years ago:

When I was a kid in Britain in the 70s "Outer Mongolia" was slang for "the furthest corner of the Earth", and there it is one of the places with the longest travel time from Britain a few generations before. it's interesting how slang and preconceptions get fossilised in children's vernacular.<p>My wife is from the Chinese regions of Inner Mongolia, which I didn't even know existed until I met her. It looks like her hometown would actually have been harder to reach than Mongolia itself!
Interesting to see how both the Suez Canal and the Trans-Siberian Railway "distort" the map: without them travel to eg India or the Far East would have been much slower.

I wonder how visa availability affected travel time in 1914 and 2015. I know that I'd like to travel in Europe, but getting visa is very burdensome and unreliable, so I'm just traveling elsewhere. World where you could ride anywhere and settle there without any paperwork sounds like a miracle we lost.
