Before Covid I regularly flew HAM - MUC (Hamburg - Munich). For me Taki g the train was not an option. For colleagues it really was. It massively depended on living location. I am 15 minutes by car north of Hamburg airport. I regularly made the trip to my client or into our Munich office in about 4.5 hours. By train some colleagues needed 6 hours into Munich office. Had I lived near the main Hamburg station I could have done the train trip also in 6 hours. But for the plane would habe added 30 - 45 minutes to the airport. I still would have been faster by plane, but would not have gotten as much work done as with going by train. In the end - for me - convenience won (and I would habe added 60 - 90 minutes to the train ride to get from where I live to the Hamburg main station) and I am glad that Covid hot and everybody learned about video meetings. This massively reduces on-site appearances. But trains and planes can reasonably compete on mid distance connections in central Europe imho. Will be testing using the train for the first time in years because the alternative would be driving 1600 km in 4 days and have a full day workshop within these 4 days. Being driven sounds better to me in that case. Let's wait how I feel after the upcoming week.
