France doesn’t run many trains over the Alps and they aren’t running 200 mph. Geneva to Marseille for example is a pain in the ass trip and driving is always faster, and flying even better. I don’t think you have any idea how much it costs to run high speed rail lines through the mountains. It’s mind blowing expensive and difficult and the environmentalists seeem to lose their minds. Look at the history of the TGV for examples of how farmers and environmentalists obstructed that project for years.
