It's especially notable that it's from France -- a country with sizeable investment and expertise in high-speed rail, who stand to benefit from less flying and broader rail investment. Don't get me wrong, I'm in favour of high-speed rail investment and rail journeys replacing flights. I had a long weekend in Amsterdam last month, and chose to take the train from London instead of flying, partly for sustainability reasons, partly for comfort. I wish my home country (the USA) invested more in high-speed rail, too.
