had a quick search and saw lots of comments re reliability.

assuming it operatines, fine, how easy is it to get to the train station, how long does it take, any other points to consider?

have to go to Halifax with work from London. Never been. never intended to go. and never thought it would take 3 hours 15 mins on the train.

having done quick maths (45 mins to LHR, 45 mins there before dept, 1 hour flight, 20 mins to station, 30 mins train from Leeds to Halifax vs 30 mins to station, 15 mins early, 3 hours 15 min train), timings are nearly the same. Train probably a bit easier / more comfortable in terms of not relying on so many means of transport and so many changes etc but part of me thinks, "why not bag some TPs and Avios" especially if this becomes a regular thing.

So, any regulars' views on train vs plane & train and ease of getting from my seat on the a/c to my seat on the train to Halifax?

Thanks in advance.
