From my own experience, trains only make sense if you're traveling less than around 1000 km. Beyond that, it's a long, boring journey, and often more expensive

From my own experience, trains only make sense if you're traveling less than around 1000 km. Beyond that, it's a long, boring journey, and often more expensive than a plane to the same destination.
