7 reasons why trains are the best way to travel

Trains are the perfect way to truly see a country up close and these reasons will show you exactly why we absolutely love travelling this way.

You’re going to want to ditch the plane ticket in favour of a train ticket after reading this.

1. You don’t need to turn up four hours before it leaves the station – airports, we’re looking at you.
2. You can bring bottles that contain more than 100mls (oh the joy!) and they don’t need to be squashed into a tiny plastic bag.
3. You can use your phone so you’re free to Facebook stalk as you please.
4. If you’re sitting beside a particularly annoying person you can simply up and move – yay!
5. You can bring your own food and drink.
6. When you look out of the window you will see more than clouds and a 35,000ft drop….
7. The train journey can become a holiday in itself.

Inter-railing anyone?
