So not 3.5 hours then TB
As for the rubbish about trains and cars both being Victorian...
First railed transport is from ancient times. Steam at turn of 19C, and mainstream pre Victorian.
First car, turn of 20C, mainstream during the reign of our current monarch.
Indeed, the earliest evidence of a form of rail (parallel stone rails) is from 2,245BC in Ancient Babylon. The earliest evidence of wheels being used for transport, such as chariots, goes back to Ancient Egypt in around 3,000 BC, and elsewhere such as Ancient Greece and what we now know as China at about the same time. So both were around during Victorian Britain, when both forms of transport were dramatically brought up to date with fast trains and the invention of the internal combustion engine.
But the heyday of the railways were at the end and beginning of the 20th century, with the most romantic and technically advanced period in the 1930's. As you know the car has developed at some pace to date, with now an end of the internal combustion engine in sight, but with rail transport heading the same way. Both are essentially a "Victorian" development with there own 'modern' technical versions coming forth. Both early cars and lorries were driven by steam! Remember also that both the very early steam railway engines and motor cars, along with the early planes, were also classed as "a novelty" and without a real future.
What we see today is most certainly 20th century developments of both forms of transport, which are now taking on 21st century technology. The race is on for one to secure a place as the key mover of people and goods in this century, with the 'loser' relegated to a form of local / back up transport. As others, and I, have said the Golden Age of motoring is past, but I would concede that perhaps there is no Golden Age of the Railways to come!! That will be down to the people of the future to decide in their willingness to invest and develop transport for the needs of the late 21st century.
