Travelling by train has many advantages First of all, there are no stressful traffic jams, and trains are fast and comfortable Also you can use the time in different ways For example, you can sit and read, or watch the world go by You can work, or you can have a meal or a snack
in the buffet car.
However, travelling by train also has some disadvantages It is expensive and the trains are sometimes crowded and delayed What is more, you have to travel at certain times and trains cannot take you from door to door For example, you need a bus or a taxi to take you to the railway station.
Despite the disadvantages I prefer travelling by train to travelling by car, because I feel more relaxed when I reach my destination
