点评:My wife and I took a trip on the train on a weekend afternoon in May. It was so crowded we could barely squeeze on board. It was clearly over booked. There were no seats available and I and many others had to stand for the entire journey, clinging grimly on to the side. It felt exactly like being on a crowded Tube train in rush hour back home in London. In other words: not something you would choose to do for a leisure experience. Worse, you could only catch the merest of glimpses of the majestic scenery because of the the thick vegetation either side of the track and the number of tunnels we travelled through. Of course it was even harder for those of us forced to stand up because we were looking down through the windows rather than properly out of them.
Hard core railway enthusiasts might enjoy the trip for its technical aspects but as a tourist experience its best avoided.
翻译:五月份的一个周末下午,我和妻子乘火车出游。车厢里挤得水泄不通,我们费了半天劲才挤进去。显然,车票被超量预订了。根本没有空座位,我和许多其他人不得不全程站立,紧紧抓住车厢壁以维持平衡。那种感觉简直就像在伦敦上下班高峰时段挤地铁一样。换句话说:这绝对不是一种值得体验的休闲活动。更糟糕的是……由于铁轨两侧植被茂密,加上沿途要穿过众多隧道,我们只能勉强瞥见一些壮丽的景色。对于那些不得不站起来的人来说,情况就更糟糕了——我们只能透过车窗向下看,根本无法好好欣赏外面的风景。
那些铁杆铁路迷或许会因为列车的技术特性而喜欢这次行程,但作为一次旅游体验来说,还是最好避免吧。
