Possible answer:
You can go from London to Paris by coach, plane or train. Travelling by plane is the fastest but also the most expensive way to get there. It’s also less interesting than by coach or by train. The coach is cheaper than the train and the plane, but it’s also slower and less comfortable. The train is the second most expensive and the second fastest way to travel. Travelling by train is the most interesting way because you can look out of the window at the countryside.
