I guess a lot of this is because they have the infrastructure in place already? After hearing Brits complaining I was surprised by how easy it was to travel by train in the UK, but it's probably true that parts of the experience has gotten worse compared to how good it used to be. It's just way ahead of countries that never made the investment in the first place.
Germany seems to me to be in a similar situation.

@brekke@eupolicy.social No. Well, or not really. It starts with an attitude: what trains do you want to run, and who for? UK, Germany, Austria, Czechia - it's for everyone, as far as we can, and every line will have an hourly service. France, Spain, Norway - other than in a few urban areas, who would take a train instead of driving? And networks are organised that way. @gwentlarry@mastodon.social @europeanspodcast@mastodon.social
