2. More night trains.
In the short term, night services are the only practical way to cover very long distances without losing an entire day to travel.

3. Long-term: faster lines. The comparison is sobering. A train from Beijing to Shanghai, roughly 1200 km, takes around 4 hours 40 minutes. A train from Warsaw to Berlin, just 571 km, takes around 6 hours 30 minutes. Who wouldn’t take an Amsterdam to Vienna train if it took 5h? Or Copenhagen Brussels in under 4h?
