Hard to do comparisons like that in the UK. While there is the channel tunnel trains to the continent they are ridiculously expensive. Fares are realy expensive for trains but flights realy cheap, despite this there are very few domestic flights - and most are aimed at business passengers and they cost loads. e.g. Leeds to Limoges (France) is a 2 hour flight. Currently at £32 (40usd) return for a week in March (Ryainair). However, an hour flight from Doncaster to Newquay with Flybe is available at £61 (75usd) return, the train would cost £174 (215usd), take around 7 and a half hours and require 3 changes. Journey would be around 330 miles and take 5 hours by road.
