Who? Anyone with money will drive, because it will be faster, more convenient and probably cheaper, especially as a group. Business travelers will fly or rent a car. So you're left with students and others without enough money to buy a car. Which isn't many people, and not a lucrative market. Plus a daily train is useless for day trips, it has to be an overnighter and it might be even worse if the departure times aren't convenient. It will be impossible to schedule a round trip that serves more than a handful of destinations along the line with a useful pair of arrival/departure times.
As always, if you are going to spend the money on public transit for a single train per day, you would be better off spending less money for multiple buses, which would be faster, more reliable, more convenient and cheaper.
