    This really shows the difference between France’s TGVs vs Germany’s ICEs. The former is so much faster! Italy, Spain and UK seem to have roughly the same speed, while East of Germany you barely move.

      On the other hand, like another commenter pointed out, the network is very dense there so you can get anywhere by train. The TGV is genuinely a marvel but good luck if you’re going to a place with less than 100k people.
