It’s a good start, though they’ll need more than one train a day. This isn’t Australia.

Tickets are on sale now, starting at €59 one way.

That is really cheap.

For anyone else that's curious about a comparison in the US, I looked up Amtrak from Atlanta to Washington DC, roughly the same length. $109 ticket and it lists just over 14 hours to travel. Based on what I've read it's practically guaranteed to take a good bit longer though.

So ~75% higher cost and at best ~75% longer travel time.
