Amtrak Coast Starlight is quite pleasant. (And while it is not super fast, from the various smoke breaks the train takes I can attest that “high speed” may be an accurate label if construed in a specific manner.)

It's a pleasant journey, but nothing like actual high-speed rail. It's slower than driving, for one, where it should be competing with airline flights.

We should learn to walk before we learn to run... There’s all these train stations on Norcal with multiple platforms that measure departures in trains per day rather than trains per hour.

I say this as someone who lived In the Northern Rail franchise area, so bad even a Conservative government is considering nationalisation.

Now only the smart government bit is required and this high speed rail thing is off the ground and running.
