Not from Italy, transalpine connections are few and not very convenient.
I did take an Eurostar from Brussels to Amsterdam, but that's like catching a regional train here lol

Yes, I take the train because I can afford to take longer trips (flexible and remote work).
From Netherlands I regularly take trains to:
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.
I used to love going to london from brussels. Not much opportunities these days but I would with pleasure.
They have built a trainline across the baltic sea?
When did that happen?
I drive or fly. Mostly drive.
Not really. I take a bus though.
Did it once but probably not again unless I can’t drive for some reason, like old age. I just love the freedom to be spontaneous about routes and schedules.
