In many parts of the world, traveling by train is a common experience. Sometimes, as a result of saving time during travel and due to a packed schedule, people may end up traveling by plane or taking buses for shorter distances. However, in comparison, rail travel has distinct advantages over buses, planes, cars or boats.

   For example, next to ships, trains offer the most spacious mode of travel. For a big group, the entire compartment or two is free to change into a temporary camp. You can move around, take a walk, lie down, put your legs up, and walk to the dining car for a meal if you feel hungry. Also you have the freedom to sleep in the right position, sit comfortably, and decide your own time of arrival. As a result, you will have a comfortable journey.

  Trains also can provide cheaper baggage weight. Why? Trains do not require baggage checks, and all luggage is in front of you; not many items are restricted, and you can take as much luggage as you can, as long as you can carry it around yourself, because it is so much cheaper than airlines.

  In addition, trains are easier to catch other means of transport. As we know, the same city usually has about 2-3 major stations where one may choose to get on or off. Unlike bus stations or airports, there is no single point of entry and exist from a particular city, which also enables you to catch a train easily. It saves large amounts of money in taxi fares, reducing the distance from stations to the destination.

  Trains make you have more interaction with others. How many times have you been annoyed by pushy, sleeping, snoring, armchair-grabbing men on buses, where you regret having received the worst co-passenger in travelling history? Or do you remember the last time you had a meaningful conversation with a stranger sitting next to you? Traveling by train makes it possible to create such relationships with co-passengers you’re forced into a room with for an average of twelve hours.

  More importantly, trains run in almost any weather, except heavy snow, which is almost always taken care of. Blocked roads or stormy weather is not a threat to the train. So if there is an emergency and all flights are booked or grounded, the train is the best and most convenient solution.

  So everyone must undertake a train journey at least once in their lives, just to gain one of the best experiences of traveling there is. After all, if it is the journey, not the destination, that counts, then take a train to make the journey stress-free.
