Tandem in Europe

My wife and I are in the beggining stages of planning a year travelling the world. For a good portion of that year, we want to tour with a tandem in Europe. As I peruse guidebooks and such, I find myself planning routes that would have us alternating between trains and riding.

How easy/possible is it to take a tandem on a train? Is there any possible way to take one on a bus?

I'm most concerned about Eastern Europe, but we will aslo need trains in Germany and Italy most likely. It seems like we can cover about 4 times as much ground, yet still see the countryside of each destination on bike, if we can find a way to make it work alternating.

Thanks for any info!
