In your example, if you accepted the train from the outset it’s ok, if a flight is cancelled & you then have to take the train you should be compensated unless it’s extraordinarily circumstances.
No. For example, if one is booked on a flight LHxxx from FRA to STR and this flight is cancelled and one is rebooked on LHyyy, operated by Deutsche Bahn, to ZWS and this flight arrives less than 2 hours later in Stuttgart, one is not due to compensation, as both are LH flights.
If chris63 would be right one easily could argue that compensation is due, if I am not rebooked on an LH flight, but onto a LXyyy / THzzz or UAbbb flight, as this is a different carrier.
