I found this article pretty disappointing. > there is a long way to go in encouraging passengers and freight off aircraft and into train stations 75% of intra-EU freight is by road, and the proportion of intra-EU air freight is already dropping. [1] > What’s more, unlike the aviation sector, rail passenger rights in the EU leave international travellers liable for missed connections and cancellations if they have to book tickets with multiple operators. If you book air travel with multiple operators and miss your connection, that's tough luck, too. If I fly Air France from Lyon to Paris and then have a RyanAir ticket booked to London that I miss because the first flight was late, that's on me, not Air France. > Paris to Berlin in an hour: Welcome to the future of high-speed rail travel in Europe According to the article this future - at best - is decades away...and it relies on completely rethinking and rebuilding the transport infrastructure of a continent. I love living in Europe and I love the convenience that the TGV and high speed rail networks offer compared to air travel. But this article is all about a future that is not at all guaranteed to emerge. 1: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Freight_transport_statistics&oldid=496663 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...
