      This has more to do with how commuter trains are forced to give priority to freight trains, causing delays, than actual travel times

        no it has to do with stopping at every damn town and there being mountains that slow the trains the fuck down from whatever speed y’all imagine them being able to go to like, 40mph. but please go off.

      If you go 300km/h by train and 900km/h by plane then the numbers don’t add up.
