My fav mode of transport is the slowest means of transportation and that is the train. In fact, if there's a train available to my destination, I'll probably find an excuse to take it. Yes, i know trains have often been labeled as one of the slower ways to travel long distances, but I think that's a stereotype left behind by the past. Modern trains are incredibly fast, Some high speed rail services can rival short haul flights when you consider the time spent checking in, passing through airport security, and waiting to board. They even call them bullet trains, i saw a video of a train moving in chinaa and it was incredibly fast, like damn!!. To me, they're basically airplanes on tracks, only far more comfortable.
The first thing you notice whenever you board a train is the space. Unlike airplanes, where every inch seems carefully calculated, trains give you room to breathe. The seats are wider, there's plenty of legroom, and you don't feel like you're invading your neighbour's personal space every time you shift in your seat. If I want to stretch my legs, I simply get up and walk through the carriages without anyone giving me a second glance.
At 35,000 feet, everything below eventually looks like patches of colour and clouds and yes this is a shade on those that prefer flying. On a train, you're part of the landscape, you glide through mountains, forests, rivers, valleys,, bustling cities, and tiny villages that you'd never notice from the air. It's impossible to be bored when the scenery keeps changing every few minutes. A train journey gives me permission to disconnect from everything else. I can read a book for hours without interruptions, catch up on a podcast, listen to music while watching the world go by, or simply stare out the window and let my thoughts wander.
So yes, while others may race to the airport or jump into their cars, you'll probably find me at the railway station, excited for another adventure on the rails and the longer the journey the better i enjoy the traveking and i believe moving by train is the safest means of transportation, i stand to be corrected. the likelihood of having an accident on train tracks is so minimal, i believ even more minimal that Air travel, cos once you are in the air, your only means of survival is on God!.
