In the 19th Century and early 20th Century, railway trains had a vital
role. In the later half of the 20th Century, the motorcar and the aircraft have (1)______
eroded the importance of railway travel.
However, new technology, high-speed rail, has enabled some train ser
vices to be faster and more convenient than the motorcar and aircraft. Mod
ern jet aircrafts can travel at great speed; there is no doubt about that. Trains, (2)______
however, travel with a maximum of 186mph or 300km/h. This is consider- (3)______
ably less than the aircraft, only about one third of the speed. So how can
they still compete? Aircraft has crucial disadvantages. First of all, airports (4)______
exist out of town. This is because they take a large amount of room, often (5)
several square miles as with major airports. To get to the airport people face
a trip, often in the region of 30 minutes. (6)______
Train stations, on the other hand, usually exist in the centre of cities, for
historical reasons. Even there is no room for a train station, it can be built (7)______
underground, so there would be no reason for a major station not to be at the
heart of the city. Hence journey time to and from stations is considerately (8)______
less than to airports.
Secondly, there is bureaucracy. Airports require people to check-in, leav
ing baggages behind, and provide their tickets all the time. People are usu- (9) ______
ally requested by the airline to arrive early. There is no such thing in trains,
you just find out the platform and walk straight into it. (10)______
(2)
