they're environmentalists for as long as it's convenient to them. they're not gonna abandon modern world comforts for the sake of saving the earth.
like, yeah of fucking course a train isn't as fast as a plane. no, it doesn't really need to be improved and do better. trains are really old technology that was created to transport several people and things for long distances faster and more efficiently than the available transportation at the time could.
for a train to be more efficient and as convenient as a plane it'd have to do environmental damage equal to a plane. unless someone creates a whole underground system that works throughout all of europe, or creates some futuristic sky train that goes through some type of transportation tube à la futurama, there's not much that can be done to improve trains for them to be more convenient than planes.
there's also always the option to not go to a foreign country on holiday
