too bad they did not have something like these in Oblivion or have something similar in Skyrim, but i think the game dynaics are a little different so they had to come up with a faster way to quick travel, whereas now you just basically teleport from anywhere outside and its a different time as if you had traveled, and before you had to run to one of these and hop on to go really far. It would probably be a cool way to travel in any DLC they add to Skyrim!
