It would depend on the rest of the process. If it was like getting a train, yes. If it was like getting a plane, no. I generally go for trains if the journey is 400–500 miles or less nowadays. This is because the hassle of getting to the airport and checking in and getting searched etc. etc. eats up all the time saved from flying fast. To get from city centre to city centre is as quick, if not quicker, in a train and it is much less hassle! You sit down once, can get your laptop out and do some work or watch a film until to get to your destination. If the LTA had all the disadvantages of planes and a marginal speed advantage, then I don’t think I’d be interested.
