    I’m not sure it’s going to get much usage. How often do people want to go to Germany?

    Other cities in the UK though, I definitely want to be able to get to them by train, but oh well.

        How many people, expressed as a percentage of the population, want to go to Berlin over any other possible destination?

        Why are they focusing on Berlin, it’s not like it’s the cultural bastion of the European Union. It’s just one city that I can guarantee the vast majority of British nationals couldn’t give three kinds of shit about.

          Trains can have multiple stops, a possible route would be via Brussels, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Hamburg. It would have plenty of demand. Berlin itself is one of the hub stations of Europe. You can get a train to almost every European country from there.

    Between UK and Germany, how many delays do you expect there to be? Their rail infrastructure is even worse than ours.
