Question B757 B737 fuel consumption short sectors

Greetings,
We're doing a conparison between Airplanes and Trains, and need to find the energy consumption of jet aircraft on sectors of 300, 400, 500 Km.
First would a 757 do a sector this short? Say like EGLL to EGPH. My guess is that a 737 would do this.
We can use the the amount of fuel required for such sectors and convert it to MegaJoule using the Calorific value of Kerosene.
Thank you in advance.
