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

I do Dales - Croydon a few times a year, and taking the train wins in
many ways. If I was shifting a family, the car could be cheaper, but I'm
not, it's just me, and the train is massively more relaxing. Four hours
when I can do what I want - work, read, eat, sleep, rather than
concentrating on driving.

As for the trains involved, I'm using commuter trains at the Croydon
end, though one will be off-peak, commuter/holidaymaker trains at the
dales end, and leeds to london is ECML. Though it's full of commuters
from London to Peterborough.
