3. ADVANTAGES

4. More Luggage
Traveling by train, ship or airplane is often the preferred modes
of travel when one needs to go long distances. Although, the
advantage of train travel is that it can facilitate the
transportation of larger and heavier luggage pieces, compared
to planes - even if the dimensions of the luggage do not fit the
other transportation alternatives.

5. Use time more Productively
 While you are travelling by train instead of cars and other
wheeled vehicles, you have an opportunity to work or do
other things. You can read, watch the landscapes, write,
design, contemplate about things in life the same way our
ancestors did, talk to other passengers you would have never
met otherwise, or enjoy a train picnic with family and/or
friends.

6. Best Value for Money
 Compared to other transport alternatives traveling by rail
offers the best value for money. Most countries, especially in
Europe and Asia, have an excellent railway system. You can
reach even the smallest town by train, which is most often
much cheaper than paying for gas, accommodation, and
foodstuffs along the way if you should drive by car.

7. Other advantages:
 In terms of accidents and breakdowns railways are the
safest form of transport
 You are able to stretch your legs or walk along the carriage
corridor
 Sleeping is much more comfortable, with various trains
providing blankets and pillows when traveling long distance.
 Last but not least is it a more sustainable travel mode
compared to cars and planes.

9. Fixed Schedules
 Compared to cars that provide the maximum flexibility, and
planes that have much more time and travel alternatives,
railways are not as flexible. They often have fixed schedule
that cannot be tailored for a single individual.

10. On board Comfort
 It depends on the budget you have and the country you are
traveling in. There are super expensive and brand trains, as
well as super cheap alternatives. If you chose to travel during
the evening time, you will want to find the most comfortable
option, especially if you are traveling for long hours on end.

11. Sharing your Space with
Foreigners
 Traveling by train means that you will have to share your
journey with strangers, which might not be so nice when the
passenger next to you is a crying child or someone who
speaks loudly on their telephone while you are trying to
sleep.

12. Slower
 Traveling by train can take longer. Traveling by plane is often
considered the fastest way. (Still, some European trains offer
you the travel options that take you across Europe faster
than a plane)

13. Public Toilets
 Toilets, bathrooms and other public areas on trains can often
be dirty or non-functional.

14.  Traveling by train can be paradise; while in some cases it
can become hell. But do not worry, there is a solution for
everything, and since there is not really something as the
'wrong solution,' we recommend not to get stressed out if
your train ride is not going as planned. The wrong train can
bring you to the right place after all.
