Interesting. I don't take the train that much for long-distance trips due to the plethora of cheap airlines. I use it a lot within the region, though, and it seems like security and processes are lighter within Scandinavia.
I took a train down to Basel a while back which was mostly Deutsche Bahn and it was quite slow and old-fashioned. I think they have cancelled this line now. It is certainly true that 'Europe' contains a huge variation of train styles and programmes.
I took the Rome-Naples high speed a while back and it was amazing. I think it gets up to like 370 km/h.
