 Hear, hear!In good old Europe, we are well pampered when it comes to taking the train. But we had to learn the hard way as well. Run-down equipment, slow service, bad connections and high fares don´t make people take the train. A role model for how to develop showcase train service is certainly Switzerland. Trains run with the precision of a Swiss watch, passengers enjoy a load of on-board comfort, the trains are fast and quiet and pricing is fair. In Germany, we see some step-up improvents in this direction, but not in all regions.But:  With the exception of long distance travel, passenger trains don´t earn their feed and have to be susidized heavily. But that´s the way it has been even in the best years of rail travel.
