They are covered, but you need a surcharge or a seat reservation, or both.

I've had on multiple occasions Eurostar reservations cost more than 300 €. I didn't buy them, of course.

Not for Eurostar. Interrail seat reservations are often more expensive than a new ticket.

In France, some destinations are served only by TGV. In Italy, taking local trains can take an eternity.

How about not driving cars for every single journey? How about not having to go across the city for every errand?

There are solutions to congestion, but they're not technological.

Yes, it is very much accepted and pretty uncontroversial that it is unethical to send someone away who’s made a new home in some country. Tearing them out of the local community and kicking them out against their will is immoral.

Not sure what you're trying to say. The full name of Epson is Seiko Epson.

Curious why your comment below’s got flagged. I personally don’t see any issue with it.

I took those trains many many times, years ago. A lot of shaking and a lot of banging because that’s how they change bogies. The vibration spreads across the carriage’s frame from underneath. And no, those aren’t American carriages. They’re formerly East German.
