Train ride.

Ah I'm jealous. You just can't do that here in my place where the train is always packed with people and the scenery is not that good too. I really like to try to ride a train going somewhere where the view is really good. I haven't been on a train in my whole life though, but I wish I would someday.

Travelling by train is my favourite means of transport but not one that I use very often as it is more convenient to travel by car. I like to relax in a train, I like the motion of it and the view from the windows - so much better than the view from the motorway. There is also freedom on the train to move around and to get refreshments. It is even possible to have a little social exchange with those around.

I had heard about the 200 km straight Amtrak rail route along the coast of California and it was my dream to experience this. When I was on a package tour of US, I spent a few more days after the tour with family and friends. One of my nephews was staying at Oxnard a station along this route. I had already asked a friend of mine who was in San Jose to book a train ticket to go to his place from her house while I was there. This friend along with another accompanied me on this wonderful journey. The Amtrak train that we travelled by had the upper deck. We got our seats there and from there we could have the sea view right through our journey. We left in the morning and arrived around 8 in the night. The train could not go beyond Santa Barbara due to some technical fault and so we were put in a bus to reach Oxnard, where my nephew was waiting for us to take us to his home.

its a moment to cherish for travelling long distance and also enjoying a lot,its a moment to be and i certainly love those journey

Train travel will give more fun and pleasure to us. I think every one have the experience of train rides at least once in their life. Trains seems to be the flight of the middle class persons which is giving pleasure travel with a minimal cost. We can enjoy a lot while traveling in train. During my childhood days i went to lot of places with my parents using train at that time i am interested in sitting near the window side seat and watch the natural scenes during the travel. I like to see the trees passing away while the train is moving and the cool breeze which touch our face will give more refreshment to us. We went some long trips using express trains at that time i have more enjoyment with my siblings. Once we went to a distant place in train at that time we are in need to travel in the night time. My father booked AC coach for us. Our aunty's family members also came along with us in that trip and i enjoyed a lot while playing with my cousins and siblings, we played various games like cards, singing, mimicry and so on. My parents and aunt is having a great chat after that we had our dinner in the train we slept in the berth after finishing our food. We reached the destination on the next day and the train travel is really an unforgettable experience in all our experience. Even though we played a lot in our home, but playing in the train will give more fun to us and we had lot of excitement while playing in a moving environment. Hope every one have such kind of memorable train travel in their life and cherish the memories after reading this.

I catch the train everyday to work - It is only about 20 miles or so and it is a little cramped, but I like it

I normally go out with my family and we drove. Once in awhile we decide to take the LRT (rapid train) or shuttle/bus. It is really nice to look out from a higher ground. I would love to take a ride in the train especially for a long distant rides. I remembered train seats have backward and front view movement too. Hahaha ... it is fun though but sit too long with the backward moving is crazy and I got dizzy.

I like to travel by train. Its a lot of enjoyment when we travel with friends or relatives or family. But only one thing dont like about our trains is the cleanliness. They should maintain it .Just for this one point i usually avoid travelling by train unless its very important or unavoidable.

yeah. even i like train rides. the best thing is its comfortable consistent speed, aura, views, people around. i just like it. there are so many type of train rides, mono rail, metro, normal interstate train, special trains for few specific destination. i actually want to ride all the types in my life be it in any country. that's globalization :)

I love train rides for the same reason.. The scenery, the landscapes and the whole fell just makes the trip worth it.. I love the early mornings in the train when with dawn the outside scenery comes to life, and so does the inside. I also love to drive for the same reason.. driving on long trips with good music on, gives same bliss. However, in train you are more relaxed and get the leverage to do other random things like reading, etc.. In public transportations, I also like how we come across so many different people, and how funny it is to witness some of them acting so different than us..
