London to Vienna and back by train – a visually stunning and simple journey

It’s easy to forget about the pleasures of a train journey when air travel is so superficially attractive - vastly better advertised, and admittedly much easier to book.  But for me, the sights, sounds and experience make a trip by rail an appealing alternative to the stresses of air travel.

On my return, I travelled from Vienna to London in a single day by ICE and Eurostar, a feat made possible by today's high-speed trains.

Would you consider taking a trip like this? What might encourage you to do so? If not, what stops you from taking such a trip?
