    Still there is no proof that Europe’s Railways are badly connected. The network they offer is still way more dense than the Airport network, even if you only look at long distance trains. When I want to go to Paris I can take a train that takes 3 hours, or I can drive 1 hour to the Airport, plan 1,5 hours buffer, fly some minutes, land, and need to drive back 1 hour. (Also easyJet & co close boarding 30 Minutes before departure, and you need to calculate some time for security and baggage drop off). Total flight time is usually much longer than many think. Eurostar is also faster than flying between London and Paris/Brussels

      If i lived in a different city than now, i would have to take a train just to get to a place that goes to a neighboring country. Where do you live that all cities are directly connected to france? Switzerland? Belgium?
