    What are you going to do with a hijacked train? The moment you hijack it they’ll just shutdown power. Hostages? Good luck there are like 30 carts on the train all of which have window break tools and emergency door open tools.

    Look at Germany or France. High speed trains are everywhere and there is no ID requirement beyond maybe a ticket check if you’re unlucky.

      Only for Eurostar and some other international trains you get some checks when boarding, especially since Brexit.

        There’s barely any checks they basically glance at your passport and go, yep you have a passport, you can pass.

        Presumably if there was an arrest warrant out for you there’s a chance they might do something, but then again they are French so you’d have to catch them at a good time.
