I love traveling by train. Fast expresses, slow local trains which stop at every
station, suburban trains taking businessmen to their offices and home again; I
enjoy them all. It must be the element of romance that attracts me. There' s no
romance in a car on a motor way - a box of metal and rubber(橡胶) on a strip of
concrete - or in flying through the air in a pressurized tube from one identical
plastic and glass airport to another. But trains are different. You can walk
around, look at the scenery, observe your fellow passengers. In a plane all you
can see are the clouds and the backs of other people' s heads. And then there
are the stations. Yes, traveling by train is still an
adventure, even in England, as you try to interpret the timetable, persuade the
booking office clerk to sell you a ticket and understand the incomprehensible
messages coming over the loudspeaker system. Then there' s that delightful
uncertainty as you wonder whether you are on the right train, or the right part
of the train.
