Train is also a better environment to read/use a laptop/whatever in -

Not on a rush hour commuter train - which is the only place that trains
make sense.

Some say that they also make sense as a substitute for domestic flights
(from say Edinburgh to London).

The last time I travelled from London to Edinburgh and back, the flight cost
about 1/4 of the train fare.

It's not about fares[1], but comfort and saving the environment.

[1] Which can be skewed either one way or the other according to your
luck and the timing of your booking and the travel.
