Gosh, but I love trains
I really do love riding on trains. I also really like city buses, especially double deckers - I’m a sucker for sitting in the front up top and gawking at the world. For longer trips, though, trains just rule. The space, comfort, and ability to get up and move around some are all just splendiforous. All of which makes it super sad that trains are all but dead in the States, and all the more fun to get to ride them when we’re over in Europe. I’ve had three happy train rides since we got here: The return from Ipswich after dropping off the rental car, and to and from London from my day at the British Museum with Cory and Mary. (The photo above is from the Colchester Railway Station while I was waiting for my train to London.)
The sad thing is that the rail prices have reached a point here, where for three of us it’s often cheaper to rent a car than to take the train. Big sigh. Still, I’m sure we’ll take the train whenever we go to London, ’cause no one in their right mind would want to drive there if they could help it.
