I SERIOUSLY doubt this news. But why anyone would want to fly over Switzerland rather than take a train and see the most beautiful scenery in the world is beyond name.
New terrorist targets!
When you consider that the state of Texas is of the size of Western Europe, taking a train from France to Germany is like taking a train from Houston to Dallas. They make it sound like you are taking a train from New York to LA.
When you’re going from Swiss cities to Paris, most likely on business rather than vacation, sometimes time is more essential than viewing the scenery, even with the TGV Lyria (dumb name) purportedly making the journey from Paris to Zürich in four hours.
None of the rail companies in either France or Switzerland are privately owned; they’re all owned by the state.
Trains are fine if you have the time and want to enjoy the scenery. But planes get you there much faster.
I don’t know about the prices in Europe, but here in the States, we pay more to take the train (sleeper car) than a plane. We have done some excellent train vacations. It is like a land cruise.
I'm 'all aboard' on that
