well, in the 1930's when the war started, trains were used then more than ever, why? 'cause there where no motorways. you think we have train delays today, just think, you'd get held up for, ammunition trains, troop trains, bombed track, bombed signal boxes, you'd stop in the staition if there was an air raid happening, it would take 24 hours to get home to london, if headed to Scotland, it take roughly 3 days (blimey)
