Trains compete with planes, cars and bus lines. It seems likely that if it turns out to be necessary to be competitive, they'll reintroduce the cheaper trains.

Trains compete with planes, cars and bus lines. It seems likely that if it turns out to be necessary to be competitive, they'll reintroduce the cheaper trains. Here in Germany, cheaper trains seem to be available for many times I happened to check (IC vs ICE). I am also happy about the reduction of my travel time, although the costs may have been too large (years and years of building new tracks and tunnels).
