On the other hand, changing trains for each leg of a journey is often half the fun. Much of the time, when I’m travelling, I will deliberately choose slower regional trains, just so that I can get a feel for the countryside that I’m passing through, and maybe have a brief look around the towns where I have to change.

The newer high-speed trains tend to shield their occupants from the outside world, somewhat – they’re beginning to feel a lot like aeroplanes, in that respect.

I sure as hell hope Amtrak is paying attention!

I bet a lot of this new cooperation among European airlines has a lot to do with the competition they are facing from all the budget air-carriers popping up all over Europe.
