Re: Köln-Paris? Thalys train....
" within 2 hours' travelling time"
Yyyeees, but when it takes an 45mins to get to the station from many places *within* that city, not counting connections at the other end, slippage etc suddenly you have a 3 hour+ journey time...
You'd have to be a masochist to do that as a regular commute IMHO
Edit: I suppose it depends on the level of comfort. 2 hours uninterrupted with a seat vs pack 'em in and pile' em high makes a difference to your viewpoint.
