A Europe built around high-speed trains + a handful of major airports would be cleaner, calmer, and way more enjoyable to travel around.
The future of European travel isn’t in the skies — it’s on the tracks 🚄✨💙
THE END

Yes, Europe still needs:
🧾 Easier booking
🌐 Unified tickets
🤝 Better cross-border coordination
🚧 More investment
But the potential is massive. Rail already beats flying for so many journeys.
9/10

Hopefully virgin trains is coming soon to compete with Eurostar on the London to Paris route and bring prices down 📉
8/10

One of the coolest parts of my trip was seeing competition in action.
Italy’s Italo vs Frecciarossa is genuinely raising the bar.
France has Frecciarossa vs TGV InOui.
Spain has multiple operators.
Competition is working — prices down, quality up 🚄💨 7/10

Now imagine this:
✨ A few big, efficient airports (FRA, CDG, AMS, MAD, maybe MXP)
✨ Most other intl airports repurposed
✨ Cities linked by fast, frequent high-speed rail
✨ Flights mainly long-haul
Huge emissions win.
6/10

I’ve been reading the EU high-speed plans and they’re impressive… but they miss the key point:
What exactly are these lines replacing? Short-haul flights? Airport links?
Without that goal, the impact is limited.
5/10

But here’s the part I kept thinking about 🌍✈️
If we’re serious about emissions, Europe doesn’t need 20+ “international hub airports.”
We could have 5–6 main international airports and link everything else with real high-speed rail. 4/10

And honestly, stepping off right in the city centre is such a game-changer.
No long transfers, no stressful queues, no airport chaos.
Rail feels calm, connected, and civilised — the way travel should be. 3/10

Eurostar was smooth and comfy. I also upgraded to Eurostar Plus for £10 which granted me food and drinks.
TGV Inqui Paris → Turin was older but still sooo much better than squeezing into a Ryanair 737 😂
More space, better Wi-Fi, easier to study, easier to relax.
Trains just feel more human. 2/10

But are the cheapest advanced fares not regulated? So they can still technically increase right?

Still very good news.

Also I was assuming that this page talks about the general experience on travelling with Eurostar not a specific experience etc. Which is why I made my point.

I was just trying to make a genuine feedback comment on how to make your page slightly better.

Once again I really love your website and use it for planning a lot of European train journeys!!

Welcome and good decision
