While it may not be the best option, is it not good that somewhere is at least trying it?
As long as it’s not widespread adoption, it seems like a good idea to at least trial these sort of things on a small scale to properly determine the real world application, even if the conclusion is just “yeah, it shit”.
No! If it doesn't immediately solve the issue completely without any drawbacks it must be scrapped and no one should work to improve it!

Every conservative party (and their corporate sponsors).
Most of the supporters of hydrogen trains are the Oil & Gas lobby, a traditionally conservative group. It's another, "Technology will save us from climate change!" scheme, which will allow unabated oil extraction to continue so we can make hydrogen fuel.
And this is exactly the case here. This train is being trialed by an oil subsidiary. They'll greenwash it, proclaiming "nothing comes out of our train but water!", neglecting the fact the hydrogen was made from fossil fuels.
