The sentence is alright, however I think it is better without of them at the end

The train travels faster than the bus, but the plane travels the fastest of all.

Sorry, aren't both of them correct Suresh?

The train travels faster than the bus, but the plane travels the fastest of all.

The train travels faster than the bus, but the plane travels the fastest of all of them.

yes, both are right. I only felt the other is more preferable or perhaps that is what I have heard people use say in general.
I would like to give an example:

Sudha is faster than any other child in the group. Sudha is the fastest of all. (Here usually we don't mention 'of them' after 'all'

Sir, correct me if you think I am wrong.

Thank you suresh. I don't have to correct you at all, because I'm the one who is asking, and thanks for your correction and given example. [Y]
