I rode from Stockholm to Copenhagen and back. There were 2 issues with delayed or canceled trains, leading to potential missed connections and some pragmatic opportunism.
Still. It was awesome. It was fast, effective, safe and comfortable.
I worry that our own rail system has never been all those things, and will never be all those things, and I dearly hope to be proved wonderfully wrong.
Train travel is amazing. NORTH AMERICAN train travel is shit ass
when i was in the UK, i took a train from london to Glasgow. train was >200kph, and, without exaggeration, as quiet as a library.
Arrived 15 minutes before it left, had a beer on it, was in glasgow in no time. Highly recommended.
as an expat, it can be mixed though. If you rely on it for commuting and travel at rush hour, it’s just a different kind of hell.
