Don't get it. But I would say not more than 1 km?

It's because I don't get it

A quarter on the edge of a table on a moving train.. Is the quarter spinning or standing? Or is it basically just on a table?

What does India have to do with it?

Vibration,  and tracks conditions.   I could get technical,  but  this is a bimbo question.    Just Guess.

This doesn't work either. There's always different bumps in the trainride, but it just depends on the train driver usually.

Also, I'd never be pinned between 2 stinky men. If the train was that crowded, I'd likely be standing.

LOL.  0 KM.   I should have included that Option.

There's a few scenic ones that take a few days. There's The Ghan, The Orient Express and The Indian Pacific (which I'm pretty sure it the one you're talking about.) It takes 10 days because it goes around the country.

  There is this one in Australia,  I so want to go on.   The funny thing is  it costs more to fly there,  than a 10 day trip through the outback on a train.  The train feeds and shelters you too.  A track riding hotel,  to out of the way places.......
    Just thinking of a Holiday......

There are lots of places in the UK you can take short scenic trips, so yes, I have.

I do really love trains and train travel so I'm keen to take some trips in other parts of the world too. I've had an idea in my head for a while to travel the west coast of America by train.

One thing I really love in the UK  was the ease of use of the trains.  and very inexpensive too.
     The one thing I hated,  was all the graffiti along the tracks.  On a trip from Norfolk to London,  I could tell we were getting close to London, by looking out of the window,  and seeing trash  and bad art strewn all over the tracks.  The country-side was OK.

  Because I live in the western part of America,  I've never taken a train trip here.
I have driven  the entire length  from  San Diego,  to Vancouver Canada,  and  it is a spectacular trip.  If you have only ridden trains in the UK,  you would be amazed at the mountains, cities and through forest lands  the train would take you too. 
      I would call it a cruse on land.

Before or after the emergency break?

Train travel is soooo expensive in England >.<

I live on the cambridge to Kings X line.. I reckon less than 1 km for real.

I suppose  I was comparing it to filling up a car with fuel, verse jumping on a train.

   Coming from America, where fuel is very inexpensive.  When I was hit with a fuel bill,  I nearly passed out.   Back home that single fuel bill would have been enough for me to drive for 6 weeks.  In the UK,  I burned it up in 2 days.   That's when I started to take the train.

  PS,  It is scary  for western Americans to drive in the UK.  It felt all wrong,  and I was always so nervous,  I felt relief  when I shut down the engine.  In some ways,  I think  American drivers should need to take a special driving class in the UK, before being handed keys to a car.   It is funny how I can fly airplanes,  and ride motorcycles,  and I've never been as scared as driving in a major city in the UK.  The rule with Buses and Lorries,  really freaked me.  Narrow streets,  that only one car could fit through,   it was a nightmare.  I gave up  and just hired taxis  for short trips.
