Trains are now becoming faster than ever. Eurostar, TGV, ICE etc are just a few of the new breed of high speed train that are cutting travelling times between the major cities. The Channel Tunnel allows a direct connection between the UK rail network and that of the continent. Furthermore in an age where the planet's weather systems are under threat from climate change and fossil fuels are being burnt faster than they can be discovered, rail is the more environmentally friendly mode of transport.
