100% disagree with this. Our local line, which in the 80s was a backwater being considered for closure or at the least major service cuts, now has an hourly fast intercity train with a quiet carriage (mostly observed), decent free wifi, and reliable service. Driving and, more significantly, parking anywhere just can't compete.
Not everywhere in the UK is lucky enough to have a good train service, but overall the service today is much better than the 80s.
