what do you mean

i mean, there are passport checks before you enter the UK when you travel through the Eurotunnel so that might work alright when you create a special checkpoint in the Budapest, for example? But all in all I think that both Bulgaria and Romania are going to join sooner than later, right now it's mostly just the case of western politicians gathering support from their right-wing base. And the HSR won't be built overnight anyhow.

I don't know what to do about Hungary though, it's sad how Orban holds back that beautiful country, and with how the fair election system, independent media and courts have been dismantled I don't see how opposition can even win.

Running a line through Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Greece should relatively be much easier though

Train ferries a bit logistical hassle through and are pretty slow and costly afaik. Another person linked a proposal for an undersea tunnel between Estonia and Finland which would solve that problem, but connecting to Sweden without a ferry is still tough, unless they decide to invest into a similar project or construct a high-speed all the way around the Baltic Sea through northern Scandinavia which is probably not really feasible.

That's pretty sweet, I wish I could visit my friend in Finland by just hopping on a train, though I wonder if there's ever going to be enough demand and possible benefits to justify building such a big undersea tunnel.
