I'm pretty sure there isn't a single point in Germany that is 300km from any passenger rail station. Of course rail doesn't go to small villages, but most medium-size cities have reasonable rail connections here.



it indeed is hardly possible. See: https://www.openrailwaymap.org/


I just realized (from this site) how minimal railway system is in Greece and South Italy.


Our governments (Italy) just build infrastructure in the north, then do a pikachu face when there aren't big companies anywhere else.


I'd say that's just like the UK except the infrastructure is all in the south, but the UK government is currently in denial about any of their own actions having gone wrong at all at any point, so no Pikachu face.


In Greece the railway might be minimal but at the same time it is very deadly.
