When did this happen? As a kid, air travel was glamorous; the hoi-polloi were excluded, while the petits bourgeois dressed up in suits and ties before receiving white glove treatment from well-trained, smiling stewardesses (as they were then known). Trains were downmarket and generally the domain of the huddled masses.
Now the position - at least in France - is reversed. Here's my TGV experience today:
Almost empty, polite and friendly staff, spotlessly clean, on time, comfortable, fast...and better still, affordable! A fantastic way to travel. Le Puy, here I come!
