I'm a fans of train. There is certain romance in rail travel that you do not find in the utilitarian bus or modern commercial airplane, not to mention travel by train is relatively prudent in green house gas emission. I am very excited to discover a website like http://www.seat61.com/index.html than guide you in train travel around the world. I spend quite a few hours planning my dream trip from London to Istanbul in front of my computer screen. Putting the romance aside, you'll see it is not a easy task. Each country run its own rail service and has its own schedule and pricing. The very existence of a site like seat61.com says that it is not as easy as booking a ticket from point A to point B using Orbitz. Furthermore, rail service are in decline in many parts of the world. While there are some wonderful services like Shinkansen and TGV, there are far more dilapidated rails lines slipping into oblivion. Putting on my technologist hat, I have to ask where are the innovation in rail network? What is the counterpart of budget airline in train travel? Perhaps the biggest problem in passenger rail is that it is a closed network mostly owned by state. It is a shame because with all the knowledge we have learned in networking, we should be able to reinvent train service beyond the legacy of infrequent, slow and expensive service we have today. Any innovator out there who can push rail travel to become a convenient and green transportation of tomorrow? Like Jiri I am also thinking about the implication on rail travel.
