Short-haul Flights in the UK could be curtailed

[The_Steed]

This is more of the usual p!sh from politicians. Why do they think that people take planes instead of trains? I wonder if it's because...

- The train is more expensive.
- The train takes a lot longer (especially in Scotland)
- The train is usually late and dirty.

Also, an airline will put on a bigger plane to cope with lots of passengers, where the train company takes off carriages when it's busy!
