Shorter than 150 miles, it's just as easy to drive in your own car, unless parking and/or traffic congestion at your destination is bad.Or if the drive is totally sleep-inducing. And don't forget, most people don't live at Penn Station or Kings Cross/St Pancras; they live in suburbs, so time of travel from home *to* the main line terminus needs to be factored in for rail too. True, but it's rarely as bad as getting to some goxforsaken airfield. And if you live on the main line, one might be lucky enough to be able to ride a local train out to Peterborough or Trenton to pick up that high speed train. And, of course, quite a few people do live in remarkably great central locations. |
