    The train takes you right in the city centre though. If you fly you usually have to buy an extra train ticket to get to your actual destination.

        Oh yes, of course. You would think operating a train would be cheaper than flying if you excluded the initial capital investment costs of actually building the line.

      Yes, but it doesn’t double the cost. We usually end up just driving which is even cheaper than flying, even including the crazy parking costs. And relatively low carbon compared to flying. Taking the train would make it very hard to justify the cost.
