Shame the trains are overcrowded and dirty on popular routes, not to mention a lot of the high speed trains are actually slow (also bike transport is a shit show). I can drive to Lyon faster than I can get there by train on this side of France. They cancelled all the night trains over the last decade or so which were really cost effective ways to get across the country for people not to mention proper memory making travel (I did it a couple of times as a kid and have really good memories of it).
It's a noble goal, but in reality, unless they invest a bit more in the infrastructure, it's not going to work for long before people get the shits with it.
