Austria and France banned short-haul flights to boost train travel and reduce emissions. Did it work? (climatetrace.org)

I hate planes over trains in the EU. I swear trains feel faster because it's central to central too. There's no travelling out to an airport a couple hours before takeoff, sitting around waiting at an airport or on tarmac either. Oh, and actual leg room, comfort, and can easily move around.

    So jealous of the countries that have kept train systems in place

    It is a bit of hit or miss in some parts.

    Valencia-Madrid? Very fast and good, even with a low cost operator.

    Valencia-Barcelona? Not as good, but it still beats the plane.

    Valencia-Málaga? You mean Valencia-Madrid-Málaga, plane makes much more sense.

    Valencia-Badajoz? Again through Madrid.

    Madrid-Badajoz? Fuck you.
