Just over 60 miles of high-speed train, roads which are potholes interrupted by tarmac - have you tried driving or getting a train from say Norwich or Cambridge to Oxford and as for Heathrow - the busiest international airport in the world soon to be overtaken by Dubai incidentally - well plus the price of fuel and train tickets compared to most of continental Europe and North America.
