I have never had a train journey where something hasn’t gone horribly wrong like missed connections, cancelled trains, trains overcrowded with drunk football fans, etc.

Having to look for hotel at night in middle of nowhere or having to sleep in the station because the next train is going tomorrow can ruin the whole trip.

Planes can be cancelled too but it’s not a guaranteed thing like with trains.

The probability of a smooth plane journey feels like 90% while for trains its like 1%
