There fair from my local station (when it reopens) starts from about £70
per
person if I book well in advance don't mind not arriving till the mid
afternoon
(if the trains are on time) and doesn't garnetee a seat. That's a lot more
than
a return flight to Paris from my local airport.

Thats rubbish.

Perhaps you have easyjet flights, booked well in advance at an inconvenient
hours.
But, try it at a weekend and it'll be 70 quid if you book well in advance in
winter.
OTOH business hours flights on BA will cost over £200

Why would I fly BA if I can get flights cheaper? That's like saying I can book
tickets by rail for £70 but Would have to pay £210 for 1st class. I'd be stung
for £145 for the cheapest business hours trains.

Unfortunately I can't get the BA website to give prices for any dates it just
sits at:
"Price and availability information is being gathered. In a moment, you will be
able to explore your options, then book your tickets."

Also: train fares.
Choose the journeys you say, and I'd guess you can get to london from
scotland for less than 40 quid.

I'm not in Scotland and booking well in advance I can't get tickets for less
than £70 on the trains (booking in advance through my local station) lord help
me should I want an open return as the price jumps to £145 and still no
guarantee of a seat. (Ok to I could actually get a ticket for just under £50 if
I were happy to change twice and more than double the jury time, that would make
it only singly more expensive than flying to Paris). I really shouldn't be
phoning the station and looking on trainline I have other things to do, sadly
this is actually more interesting.)
