I much preferred the train to flying for getting from Newcastle upon Tyne to London.
It's three hours with decent legroom rather than close to an hour waiting at the airport, an uncomfortable one hour flight, and 20 minutes on the underground getting from the airport to anywhere central. And it was cheaper.
Driving was closer to five hours, and if there were two of you it was cheaper again (unless booking train tickets two months in advance for a precise time - another rant), but considerably more stressful, and involved driving around London at the far end. Best avoided.
