@happydisciple @patrick Sure, but then were I to use OUIGO, *or* to use a TGV Paris-Lille, then other trains, I can get it much cheaper by train as well.
So this is not just train vs. car, but also train vs. other train on this route.

@patrick @happydisciple Or subsidised 😳
@happydisciple @patrick I know, I know. But that is the crucial point here - this being “open market” Paris-Bruxelles means rail under performs still further.
@jon @happydisciple It does show how incredibly efficient (and thus cheap) train as a mode of transport is/can be.
