Europe's geography 'kind of reshaped' as Paris-Berlin night train returns

What's 'bullshit' about trains?

They are slow.

Some trains are slow. For night trains, that's a feature.

Sleeping and hygiene in the train in comparison to your home or a hotel.

The energy required for trains will always be far lower than for planes. There’s no practical way to drastically drop emissions while still flying so much.

And overnight trains from and to a city are overall much more comfortable than travelling for 2h to an airport to be there 2h early, often in the middle of the night, going through security, etc.

Why one or the other?
