Rail transport in Cardiff has developed to provide connections to many other major cities in the United Kingdom, and to provide an urban rail network for the city and its commuter towns in South Wales.
Today, there are three train operating companies in Cardiff: Arriva Trains Wales, First Great Western and CrossCountry. 
The Finnish railway network consists of a total of 5,919 km of railways built with Russian gauge track.
Passenger trains are operated by the private state-owned VR Group.
They serve all the major cities and many rural areas, though railway connections are available to fewer places than bus connections.
Most passenger train services originate or terminate at Helsinki Central railway station, and a large proportion of the passenger rail network radiates out of Helsinki.
VR also operates freight services.
Maintenance and construction of the railway network itself is the responsibility of the Finnish Rail Administration, which is a part of the Finnish Transport Agency ().
The network is divided in six areal centres, that manage the use and maintenance of the routes in co-operation.
Cargo yards and large stations may have their own signalling systems.
Finnish trains have a reputation for being spacious, comfortable and clean.
The scenery surrounding the railway lines is considered to be of outstanding natural beauty, especially in Eastern Finland where there are many lakes.
Because in most parts of Finland the density of population is low, Finland is not very well suited for railways.
Commuter services are nowadays rare outside the Helsinki area, but there are express train connections between most of the cities.
As in France, passenger services are mostly connections from various parts of the country to the capital, Helsinki.
Currently there are c. 260 passenger round trips driven daily in Finland, excluding Helsinki commuter rail.
Nightly passenger trains only operate on the busiest lines between Helsinki or Turku via Oulu to Lapland (minimum distance of c. 650 km (405 mi.)).
This leaves most of the tracks free for nightly freight traffic (c.40 M tons/y).
In addition there are also good ExpressBus and aeroplane connections, both of which are generally little or a lot more expensive than trains.
Buses are sometimes faster and/or cheaper than trains (e.g.
Helsinki–Pori). 
Stockholm Central Station has train connections to many Swedish cities as well as to Oslo, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark.
The popular X 2000 service to Gothenburg takes three hours.
Most of the trains are run by SJ AB. 
Varanasi Railway Station is an important and major rail junction.
The city is served by trains from all metros and major cities across the country.
New Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai, Gwalior, Meerut, Indore, Guwahati, Allahabad, Lucknow, Dehradun, Bangalore, Mysore, Kanpur, Ahmedabad and other Indian Cities have direct rail connections.
