Fun fact of my train travel experience

"I've got a long-distance train system to make me feel like I'm in First Class when I'm keeping train spending as low as possible. Neck pillows, a packed homemade meal and snacks, noise-cancelling headphones – and always a window seat to watch the English countryside roll by."
