I'm another one who missed this train. But for the next journey (maybe on your way back?) I would recommend an audiobook. All the advantages of "a good book" plus (a) a degree of noise-blocking (often useful to block out annoying fellow-passengers) and (b) free eyes to watch the scenery. And now you're looking out of the window, a map is another good thing to have along on a train journey, so you can identify those castles and churches, let alone hills and woods. You can download audiobooks onto many phones or an iPod. If that's not possible, then have music as a fallback. Hell has been, for me, being on a train with no earphones and the most tedious "conversation" going on at high volume nearby making it impossible for me to read.
