I'm still excited about flying on a plane even though I've done it dozens of times.
Trains and train stations on the other hand, even though I use them so regularly, are still super nice. I wouldn't say "exciting" but very nice.
That's why I'm so angry that the French government and railway company keep making trains and stations more and more like airports and airplanes.
In the US, the train stations I've seen range from unremarkable to downright filthy. The one station I found interesting was New York Penn Station, which I would favorably rate as on par with an average airport.
Try getting a sit down meal with table service anywhere. Nope, you’re queuing for a shit, dry/soggy brötchen.
The lounges aren’t even worth it anymore either.
