Driving is time consuming - trains allow you to read, talk to people, get some 
rest, and pollute less, etc.

I regret trains are sometimes too fast these days, and I also miss the (real) 
restaurant cars.

I envy Tina and Tom with their trans-siberian plan, which I DO hope for many 
reasons, Tom’s health being the less selfish one, they can actually carry out 
soon.
