I felt awfully conflicted that to visit a friend in Germany, for the first time in 2 years, I must fly. It is costing less than half of the train fare and that’s by BA and carrying a bike with me too. I could have flown even cheaper without a bike and by a budget airline, but mostly it was so frustrating that the trains made it near-impossible to bring a bike with me. It was prohibitively expensive and complicated. This is just anecdotal evidence for all the above arguments over this stuff. I would sooner travel by train, or even coach, whatever was more environmentally efficient, but it just isn’t possible within my means. Frustrating.
