A majority of people would prefer to take a high-speed train rather than fly for trips covering “short and medium distances” around the European Union (EU), according to some of the continent’s leading railway companies, quoting survey results.
Despite a recent revival of overnight and long-haul rail offerings across the continent, around 90% of people do not regard “transport connections” between countries as “adequate”, the Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER) said, after backing a survey of around 5,000 people in the EU’s 27 member states.
