Discourse markers are used to show relationships between ideas. Relationships can range from adding something to showing contrast, to explaining a reason, or to showing a result. Without them, the connections between sentences and paragraphs would be less obvious.

2. How is a rail journey different from other forms of travel, such as by plane or car
A rail journey is different from a car journey in that with a car journey, if you see something interesting, you can stop and take a look. A journey by plane will get you to your destination much faster than a trip by train or car. However, usually you cannot see much interesting from a plane window, and a plane gives much less space and fewer opportunities to get up and walk around than a train.
