Although the UK only covers a small area it can be quite hard to get around it quickly, especially if you travel a lot for business, motorways can be long and tiresome so travelling by car is not always appropriate if you have to look fresh faced for a meeting, travelling by train is a better option than by road as you have more space and freedom to relax and with the availability of WiFi onboard many mainline trains now you can also get some work done. However if you are travelling long distances say from Edinburgh to London then travelling by train can take a considerable amount of time, however if you choose to take a flight to London you can cut down on a large amount of travelling time.
It normally takes about one hour to fly from Edinburgh Airport to London Heathrow, where as taking the train from Edinburgh Waverley to Kings Cross can take up to 6 hours. Although there is time taken up with baggage checks and other security in the airport it still takes less time to travel, and many UK airports around the country carry many internal flights, so it’s worth considering when you are looking to travel a great distance.
