      Hi Ruari,
      I actually don’t really like trains, especially if you sitting the same direction as the train is travelling.
      That makes me a little travel sick.

      I like trains. They are the only form of transport I don’t get motion sick on. I think that’s because you can stand up and walk around if you need to and there is plenty of air.

      Trains also have a very interesting scientific history from the rope-hauled beginnings to the steam engine to the diesel or electric ones we have now.

      I think long car rides are too cramped and I don’t like flying, so yeah, I love trains. Mostly because they have so sets of four seats, so you can talk to people and play cards and stuff!

      Hi Ruairi,

      that really depends on the train for me. I like the fast, spacious, hi-tech ones like the ICE in Germany and the Thalys in France that travel at 300 km/h without you feeling a thing! But I hate being stuck on a slow train that stops at every corner. Still, I much prefer it to bus rides or long car drives.
