Travel madness indeed! But a great day and great video :) I thought I'd come out of this with a clear winner, but it was a lot closer than I'd have imagined. For me though, the train shades it, mainly as (like you did in the video) you can change seats if needed :)

Doing the three back to back was a very interesting experience. They all have their ups and downs... Worryingly I am thinking of another trip like this for a sequel! - Tyler

[@RogEdwardsTV]

What a trip! If I risked an combo like that it would have gone belly up - probably on the first flight! 😀 Overall I prefer the train - it's quicker than a bus and you don't have all the messing around in airport queues and holding stacks!

Fair enough, the plane isn't for everyone and neither is the coach. Do you think the trains get an unfair reputation in the UK?

[@awild10]

Train for me but only because its the most convenient. Maybe if there was a flight from Gatwick I'd consider it but from here in Sussex its only an hour by train to Victoria then 15mins by tube to Euston before a 2hr train journey. You also end your journey in the city centre as opposed to Manchester Airport which is a bit of a way out. That coach was good value but I dont think I'd want to go from London to Manchester on one, I'd rather just drive myself.

Interesting perspective, my only gripe on the trains is how expensive they can be at peak times for what you get in return, as well as the fact strikes on UK Trains are more common place than on UK Airlines or UK Coaches by comparison. - Tyler

[@awild10]

@@southernairs agree regarding strikes but they tend to be announced enough ahead of time for me to work around it. Im starting to use them more for business travel to/from Scotland as often you have to wait til 6pm or later for an EasyJet flight back to Gatwick which is far from ideal if you’ve finished work up there by midday. Far better to get on the train and get some work done rather than waiting around at Glasgow airport for hours. The train is more scenic for me too but then you know from my Dad that we’re more train geeks than av geeks!
