27、We can do without railways,“ people say, as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they are dying. But this is far from the truth. In those days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive
28、 with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesnt le
29、ave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesnt hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which a plane or motorcar could never do.Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untr
30、oubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning.
