szarlotka: you can't let them bang into each other like rolling stock can you?
They don't let today's modern trains bang into each other, either! You are living in the past!========================

Ultimately, MY feeling, MY experience of my trip by air was that I and my fellow travellers were treated like cattle. There was a helluva lot of standing, queuing, walking, waiting, more queuing, more standing, being squeezed into a tiny space, then more walking, queuing, standing, waiting, just like herds of cattle.
And MY experience of returning by train from Poland to Holland was: waiting a few minutes for the train, seated on a bench at Poznan station, being greeted by a sleeping car attendant, 30 seconds to board the train and get into the sleeping compartment. Arriving at my station in Holland I was off the train and out of the station in 3 minutes. No standing, very little walking, no waiting!
These boarding and disembarking scenarios are impossible by plane.
There is no way you can turn up at an airport five minutes before a plane departs and have that plane brought to where you are sitting.
There is no way you can be outside an airport, on the street, with your luggage, 3 minutes after the plane lands!
I personally find all the standing, waiting, queuing, for check in and security and all that crap incredibly boring and wearying. Standing in a queue with hundreds of others also being treated like cattle, yet the joke is that we are all paying for this so-called "service".
