Why is it SO HARD to Take a Train Across the Border? (w/Jon Worth)
About this episode
Jon Worth discusses the challenges of taking regional trains across EU borders and shares insights from his extensive travel experience on European rail lines.
The EU is heavily promoting rail as an alternative to flying and driving, but while the "big" high-speed train projects get a lot of attention, it's often maddeningly difficult to take a regional train across an EU border. Jon Worth has travelled on almost every single rail line in the EU and he has an incredible wealth of knowledge about how cross-border rail could work so much better.
