Apologies for that! There was a nexus as the article quoted was about replacing LCY flights with train journeys and this would indeed be viable with lower prices and a greater array of direct services. I’m agnostic about LCY expansion, aviation obviously has its place and some people will prefer the much quicker journey times. LCY has the benefit of minimising the ‘wasted’ time in transit through the airport facilitating a full day in London (or the destination city) while still being able to return in time for bed! Clearly there is a market for that compared to a 3-6 hour rail journey.
