    That would become a 15+ hour trip then…

    Edit: On further investigation, it’s also not significantly cheaper than flying, and is much more expensive than fuel for driving.

      Sadly, yes. I live in Germany, and here you need a BahnCard50 (or better) for the train to be cheaper than the gas for driving.
