"As far as I can tell Kolari to Lagos, Portugal, is the longest journey you can take on multiple trains within the EU,"

5000km in a week probably. Does Portugal even have high-speed rail?

IIRC Portugal isn’t even well connected to Spain by train. I think there’s a twice a day connection between Porto and Vigo in the north. Not sure about the southern part.

I think it’s twice per day between Entroncamento and Badajoz too, not sure if there are other cross border connections. But maybe they’ll finish the direct connection between Lisbon and Madrid some day! 🤞

Hopefully the Iran war takes longer and pushes the governments to invest in rail and public transport.
