I just came across this tool, which - after entering a city - shows all other cities to which there is a direct train connection. A color code depicts the travel hours.
Examples:
- Lyon → Brussels, 3:37h
- Krakow → Graz, 8:30h
- Ostseebad Binz → Wiesloch-Waldorf, 9:56h
Although I’m not quite sure yet on what occasion I can use the tool. But someday the moment will come :D
Btw. there is a Sparpreis search on https://bahn.guru/ with a monthly view (“On which day do I travel cheapest from A to B?”). Unfortunately the links to the store don’t work yet.
At least in Germany it’s due to partial privatization. To a degree. We still think it should be profitable and don’t treat it as the critical infrastructure it is.
Here it is also partially privatised, but only train providers. National rail maintainer is SŽDC. I think that it is similar in Germany.
