I don't know why people expect train travel to always be cheaper than flying. Air travel does not require much costly infrastructure while building a high speed train track over hundreds of miles is very costly, especially when there's the sea in the way.

It's not about "cheaper", it could very well be "the train should not consistently be twice the price". Also in my personal experience planes don't simply get cancelled (or replaces with one without my reservation) 1/3 of the time, which is an actually reasonably correct number for me taking trains in Germany.
