as much as I love trains (I’m on one while typing this) I can’t get myself to spend 170€ for a 21 hour train, even if part of it is spent sleeping, when a 2 hour flight could do the same for 50€.

I don’t know if it’s just cheaper or if there’s massive subsidies like other comments were saying, but for now it’s highly unpractical and uneconomical
