On the train, by train
I would like to know when to use " on the train", " by train" or" in the train"as in " I came in the train/ on the train or by train". I'm a teacher of English from Arad, Romania. I found exercises on this topic with a key but no explanations. The exercise said:
I'd rather travel ............the night train and be in Budapest in the morning.
a.on b. in. c.by d.with
I 'd like to know why solution a. is correct.
Thank you very much,
Margareta Christian
