Try the UK, some of the worst train services in Europe, a consequence of privatisation leading to multiple train operating companies. Slowly being put right as train companies come back under government control but still not great.
The best example of the problem is Ticket Splitting - depending on starting point, final destination and intermediate stations, how and where you buy tickets results in different costs.
I have saved up to 50% by ticket splitting.

@gwentlarry@mastodon.social Kindly, no. UK is in the mid table in Europe. Trains run regularly at least, although prices can be terrible. But the UK is a lot better than at least half a dozen other European railways. @europeanspodcast@mastodon.social
