I won't defend anything related to the airport link. I personally 
wouldn't that if I wanted to get *to* a plane, but from a plane is 
another issue entirely...

It mightn't be their line but they still run the trains along it, no 
defense from here...

This is the wrong group to ask why people would catch the train ;)

Seriously though:
What if you don't have a car or license?
You don't have to look/pay for parking when going by train.
You don't get stuck on, say, the M4 on a train.
The running costs for a car on it's own may be in excess of going by train.



When's the last time you got stuck in the morning traffic jam called the M4?
