London to Paris by rail so much easier than flying for example in Europe

You would still have security to prevent you from bringing bombs or weapons on the train.  A vehicle moving more than 100 miles an hour can kill a lot of people very quickly in the land or in the air.

Even if you power high speed rail with coal, it's much less CO2 emissions per passenger-mile.
