This new concept proved to be very successful and all tickets were sold out in one day!</DIV><BR /><DIV>I think flying will become less of an option quite soon. Flying is, if you think of it, a very uncomfortable, boring and scary way of travelling. By train you can move around freely and you can enjoy the panorama of the land passing by. You can get fresh air. You don't have to watch out for the steward's food and drink wagon in the aisle when you have to go to the lavatory. You can dine at a real table and you can sleep in a bed. The many benefits with rail travel should make it easy to shift from air travel. The shift will either way become necessary.</DIV><BR />A great and sensible initiative! I hope more travel agents will get on track.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/817238FF-5D07-47F4-9251-A7FBE19E56B8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
