A3:
- provide better European connections
- provide a ticket system, so that you can easily book a train ride from Spain to Germany without using a EuroRail pass
- BE ON TIME (though I know what a crazy system is all behind this)
#TTOT

A3:
- it's still far too expensive (compared to car or plane)
- it's still takes too long, as you first have the journey to the train station.
- re-open countryside connections (in Germany)
- offer better cabin solutions to use the time more useful, like "business" cabins

I've mostly taken train trips within a country. I find it the easiest way to get to see more of the country or do day trips. Haven't done many across country train trips as usually time poor. Domestic train only within same city possible #ttot

A1: Train travel is my favourite way to travel for sure. Being able to see the scenery, people watch and engage with locals and just quite frankly not being on a plane! #ttot

@lingointransit Good idea!
I would like to have little "business class" seats where you can have proper meetings with your colleague without informing everyone else around you.

A3 for rail travel, the developed world have a system that works just about perfect. For other countries, as travellers its on us to do thorough homework and always have back up plan because so many things can and do go wrong. #TTOT

Yes, you'd love the journeys of @ScotRail. You see so much and they have all the necessary services to all people & everyone is so efficient & friendly. #TTOT https://t.co/gg0Tce1hpf

A5: I'd love to take the Trans-Siberian Railway and make stops along the route to explore Russia more intimately. #TTOT

A4. Lots of answers:
- Flying needs to become more expensive
- Driving by car needs to become really expensive
- Train travel needs to be cheaper than it is today
- And be able to cope with increased passenger numbers
- More night trains

@StevenOnTheMove Japan is crazy and a great example how a crazy train system can operate smoothly.
They officially send out excuses via Twitter, if a train arrives 30 seconds too early! Incredible!
In Germany they wouldn't / couldn't tweet, if it's 5 minutes late, as there are too many.

A2: Train travel in general is something that sticks in my mind more. From long-distance, multi-day trips as a kid in Russia to crossing a somewhat famous bridge at Kanchanaburi in Thailand, it's always pretty special! #ttot

A4. More answers
- More trains across Europe, especially to Northern Europe/ Finland/ Estonia
- More child-friendly seating options, e.g. family cabins
- More train staff which enforce some rules (no loud noises in silent cars)

A5: Definitely the Trans-Siberian for me. We were meant to travel to Asia by land this year so would have been a big part of that trip. Main reason why I'm jumping through hoops to get my Russian passport as we speak #ttot

Yes, come to think about it - a 100 years ago, when I was living in Hawaii & took a charter flight to to New York with a friend, then we took a train from New York to Boston to see his family - 1st time in 7 years. A different kind of experience but always interesting. #TTOT https://t.co/mgEcbvNAYE

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes Yes, but they're not always so gracious in Japan with information. Regardless, it is an amazing system and truly gets people to most places they want to see. #TTOT

A4: I really like the idea of train passes, so that you can simply hop onto each train you like. But they are too expensive.
I'm surprised that they haven't improved and offered a better solution yet. #ttot https://t.co/oGUcMboOSS

A4. Depends on how much time I'd had, but some long trips can be booked with one ticket - Trans-Siberia for Example. If I have plenty of time, just buy the train tickets and see where it gets me. If short on time, plan it more closely and in advance.

A3: Improve rail passes!
Allow to use every train, but only charge the ones you used, up to a maximum amount per month. Use an app to handle those. That should be so easy to do.

A5. The iconic train journey that I would most want to experience would probably be Asia to Europe via Trans-Siberian Railway.

Excellent point. Other things also like 2 girls in Italy (one had her hand in my purse on my phone when I grabbed it & held it for awhile, seating my mother. Then the only places left to sit for them was with us - they had to ask us. #TTOT https://t.co/Gv6ctJoyK4
