Supercommuting is one of those myths that is fun for articles, but doesn't exist, for the most part. At the least, it's pretty rare, because it usually isn't worth the massive time and stress. Fastest train line in Europe is Paris-Frankfurt but it isn't like people are supercommuting between France and Germany.
I doubt too many people in, say, Mannheim, are gearing up for their daily train to Paris just because the speeds over the northern French plains are fastest in Europe. NE France and adjacent parts of Germany are dirt cheap and relatively proximate to Paris but doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
