Aviation coming to an end and being replaced by trains?

Pretty good for Continental traffic, say in Europe,Asia
and North America.

Central London to Central Paris is quicker and more
convenient on Eurostar than the air version.

The main problem is the bits of the world inhabited by people who shoot
at the passing trains.

No way can I possibly go from the UK to India on a train, although I'd
love to. I hate flying...

I can get as far as Tajikistan one way and can get as far north as
Kashmir (assuming I can get a permit from the Indian government to go
there) going the other.
