I have contemplated ditching planes for trains, but I don't think the result would be much better. Perhaps less security theater?

In Europe that works OK - at least city to city.
I live in E of England, . my sister lives in W Germany near the Moselle. She gave a birthday party for her husbands 80th.
I drove all the way with a ferry crossing
My nephew took the Eurostar from London and hired a car.
My cousin took a plane and hired a car.
The door to door journey times were almost identical
OTOH if you want to get from central Glasgow to Central London a plane and train is by far the quickest.
Not so much security on what is essentially a commuter flight
