I agree with you. Travelling by train is a very civilised activity (or inactivity if you prefer). It tends to be shortage of time and the fact of islands that prevent me using it all the time. When I went to Fez a couple of years ago I originally planned the whole trip to be a train journey from London. Unfortunately I didn't have time for that, and flew instead, although I did have interesting journeys between Casablanca and Fez. I also spent an interesting month travelling in India by train a few years ago.
