Certainly an unusual point of view in times, when our lives are required to move faster and faster. The speed we have to move in forces us to act/react, before we have the time to think, and quite often the results are not what we intended to achieve. I´d say, the reason of travel decides on the speed. If you travel on business, you have to economize on the time you spend on the traveling itself. If you travel for leisure, the time spend on board a train is part of the fun. Btw, there is a trade-off between travel time and comfort. In the 1930´s, Deutsche Reichsbahn introduced a fast ( for that time) service between Hamburg and Berlin, using luxury trains consisting of diesel-electric cars, with a superb on board service. Traveling time was 185 minutes between those two cities. Today´s ICE trains do that jump in just 100 minutes, but those 100 minutes seem to be endless, as the ICE trains are no match in comfort.
