No. Taking the train for long distances is too much of a gamble when I'm on a schedule. More than half of my train rides end in delays, missed connections because of trains leaving too early, cancellations, missing wagons and being stranded at some rural station after closing. And most of the time the tickets are more expensive than what I'd spend on gas for the same distance.

I'd really love for it to be a viable alternative but the whole network and service need some major investments until then. The cost cutting over the last decades has been terrible.
