Not because I doubt you but Europe is pretty disparate.
Amtrak from NYC to Philadelphia cost as much as a flight to continental Europe, and the experience was abysmal, truly awful I couldn’t even get the tickets for hours and took a bus instead.
Perhaps I’m “spoiled” by UK and Swedish trains but UK is pretty terible

We were talking about the websites, and the OP was saying it’s the “worst example”. Cost and experience weren’t being discussed.

It depends hugely on when you book--both time in advance and time of year--as well as any sales going on. Which can vary a TON in Europe as well. I almost always take trains within Europe but they're no bargain.
