Becuase there is little practical choice. Even with the chaotic ticketing, going long distance by train is much quicker than going by coach, especially if changes are involved.
...and for people like me who commute into London its the only viable option
Indeed. Takes me an hour and a half to get to work by train. Would be a lot lobger by car. Was working one Saturday and it took me just over half an hour to get to work but then I was leaving at lunch time. Took me an hour to do a couple of miles.
I really hate commuting. I remember the days of going to secondary school where it would take anywhere between an hour to an hour and a half to get to/from school. Even now, driving to work takes forty minutes - longer if there's traffic/roadworks. Hopefully, if I get a house in an area I want, I can reduce that down to fifteen minutes.
