Presuming there's a reason you excluded Germany, would you make a comparison with that system?

Your stereotypes about German trains are very old. Here, take these newer ones

There's very little high speed rail in Germany, which means that longer trips are too slow to be useful.

That being said, there's very good regional and decently fast coverage. Delays are a problem due to postponed infrastructure investments though.

Thanks, that's my impression too. I wouldn't say Spain is much better, but my experience is limited.
Because Deutsche Bahn has been on steep decline for nearly 2 decades now and is the laughing stock of Europe right now.

Witness the calamitous state of getting the fans to stadiums during the current Euro 24.
