    That’s a good point, the population in Europe is much more evenly spread. But that still doesn’t explain why a train journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles has to be 12 hours long.

    Also, I guess you guys do not regularly travel from New York to Los Angeles for a weekend trip, just as we Europeans don’t usually do that with Stockholm and Barcelona (which is a distance the average European would also travel by plane).
    We do however travel from Frankfurt to Strasbourg for a day trip, and of course we do that by train.
