I've been doing lots of travel by train this year and just wish the quality of trains was more predictable. Late trains are usually super dirty. Delays are constant. Access to power plugs to get some work done has been unreliable (both from lack of plugs and lack of power on plugs).

I like it a lot more than flying, as its greener, more comfortable, and there's free Internet most of the time. And for many trips, it's faster than flying when you include the way to the airport and the time you spend in security and waiting to board.

Haha. It might explain part of my bad experiences, but I travel to other countries by train as well. But DB has the best and the worst trains.

to be fair, I've never traveled outside Switzerland, but I have never had any gripes with SBB
