Trains are pretty awesome, especially in small Europe. Flying always comes with security hassle. A train is just: get in/get out.
If Europe would just spent more money on infrastructure.
We have trains in Germany that can do 350km/h but I've yet to ride one that goes faster than 200, probably because the rails aren't what they're used to be.
Then we have the Germany Ticket. A 50€/month subscription to all regional trains (not the fast ones). Which removes the hassle of dealing with local subway and bus companies.
But the trains are often late, which sucks, especially if you want to ride in the evening.
If Europe could get on Japan's level, that would be a dream.
