Ok, so it’s not exclusive. Does it make the problem any less real? EU did a study on it recently and it’s way more difficult to travel internationally by train than by plane. It’s just a fact.
There aren’t many transnational train routes, even in Europe, compared to transnational flights. But that’s not inherent to trains as a means of transportation, but a bureaucracy issue.
That’s… exactly what I said: this is not an issue inherent to trains, it’s just bureaucracy. In other words, there is nothing preventing these operators from collaborating and setting up these routes, they just refuse to agree on them.
Great, so the bureaucracy is worse for trains and is creating some issues that other modes of transpiration don’t have. What’s your point exactly? Next time I will not be able to buy a ticker for a train in different country I will just say “it’s bureaucracy” and it will be magically solved?
My point is that this is not an issue inherent to trains as means of transportation. Third time I write the same sentence. I don’t think it’s that hard to understand.
Because you’re conflating issues like company policies with stuff that’s supposedly inherent to trains, like “they don’t have windows” (although they do), or that “you could end up stranded for a long time in the middle of nowhere” (which routinely happens with cars).
I mean, would you blame Airbus if there’s overbooking in your flight? Probably not.

Difficult, how? Be specific.
