Single overnight trip is the longest that a train can save time compared to a plane. Like my argument was, if a train travels 16 hours, 19:00 to 11:00 then evening flight means arriving late and morning flight means getting up early. Whereas the existing fastest train, 20 hours from 15:00 to 11:00 can comfortably be beaten by evening flight without staying up late.
Is CRH1E uncomfortable to sleep in?
