This is the only way to make transport sustainable and the question is why every capital in Europe is not connected in this way. In UK we should already be planning the high-speed link to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Liverpool, Leeds - and already constructing the line to Manchester
It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris
There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm.
And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight

Folks stop referring to the pandemic in past tense I beg. Oftentimes, you mean “post-lockdown.” The pandemic is ongoing and we shouldn’t contribute to the detrimental erasure of it and its consequences.
