Note that the maximum distance on this network (Geneva - St. Gallen) is only 300km, so a ~10h trip at the projected speed of 30km/h. That's still overnight ship

Note that the maximum distance on this network (Geneva - St. Gallen) is only 300km, so a ~10h trip at the projected speed of 30km/h. That's still overnight shipping. Also, seeing as the goal is to get (consumer) goods into cities, I would call that itinerary a bit hypothetical. (I agree with the general statement, and I hope so do the designers. This should complement, not replace.)
