Sleeper trains are the best in my opinion. You board, shut your eyes, and when you wake up, you've arrived. No wasted time. A lot cheaper and a lot more pleasant than this "high speed" malarky. Especially now that "high speed" has come to equate "invasive security checks".
- timwaagh 7y agoyour opinion is not the only possible opinion. I used the hsl to paris once. it was amazing. In three hours i was home and could go on with my life. a plane would not have been faster. paris is a little bit too far to commute these days but one would imagine people will use it to commute to brussels. that's also the real weakness of sleeper trains: they are only useful for tourists. whereas most trains are being used for home-work commute.
