In #Europe, I always travel by #train. In the past, that has involved e.g. two #nighttrains (with beds) per direction and a total travel time of ≈ 50 hours each way.

I vote "50 hours"!

However, I also travelled to America and Asia. To America there is no train. To Asia it's very complicated and expensive. Travelling by container ship is even more expensive and takes weeks. To both destinations, I took the plane 😞

Italian railway group Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) has revealed plans to launch a high-speed rail service between Paris and London.

Set to be launched by 2029, the service will challenge Eurostar’s long-running monopoly on the route.

The project would be carried out in partnership with Spanish firm Evolyn.
