Yes I would use that over a plane but the trains in England go at 100mph and often they do less than that. We were on a train and they had to go at a speed of 40mph for over an hour due to someone walking on the line, apparently this is common.
I doubt they will ever come to the UK though.
Commuter trains are that slow. Intercity trains can travel at 140-186mph.
Its so annoying the way I want to visit all these countries and I do have ome money to visit some of them but my parents don't want to go and my mum always ruin my travelling because she makes such a hassle having shouting matches and staying up all night packing then stressing. Ugh
Also my dad always wants to goto Spain every year so most times we end up going there. Yawn. Its a nag every year to get my dad to go anywhere..

I mainly used trains instead of buses in England and they go within 150-180 km range. Never had a hassle all my life. Big advantage of trains in UK is the stations are located right in the city centre.
Train is the most popular way of transport in UK btw.
In 2013, there were 1.59 billion journeys on the National Rail network, making the British network the fifth most used in the world (Great Britain ranks 23rd in world population). Unlike a number of other countries, rail travel in the United Kingdom has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years with kilometres/miles travelled matching and surpassing the highs of the 1940s.
Right now I don't work so I'd need to budget hard, however I planned everything £50 for Eurobus (or £70 if I decide to take Eurostar which I would prefer), £50 ($78) roughly for Hotel and £150 ($234) spending money (taxis, tours, food etc)
So I could save up £250 ($391) in 5 months easily but fingers crossed I get a job...

Yes the rail network is well used but it always seems to have delays. I wish the food selection was better and the first class selection isn't any different..

Anyhow, when are you planning on going to Paris? I recommend hitchhiking.
