This film seems to suggest that the rail industry enjoys no government subsidy - my understanding is that it receives about £5bn a year.

Plane: Hehehehehe I am so fast
Train: You cannot win!
Plane: OH SH*T
Train: HAHAHAH
Plane: -_- *Is slammed into and patted down by TSA*

Henceforth, any travel I do in the lower 48 states, and Canada, will all be by train. Only overseas will be by plane. With that being said, my money will be going to train travel.

I agree trains are way better, in the U.S. Amtrak must travel over freight railroads tracks. It causes heavey delays and its a lot slower than airplanes. But the dignity of traveling by train is still better than being pact into a small plane like sardines. Where rail-passenger service beats airlines is intercity commuting, and urban corridors, such as Richmond. to Boston, Ann Arbor-Chicago or San Diego-L.A.

You're welcome. With your help, we can send the Government a strong message that we want lower train fares.

No mention of Air Passenger Duty.
No mention of public rail subsidy.
No mention of UK tax payer underwriting operating losses of the private train operating companies.

Even with air passenger duty and the public investment in rail, the airlines are heavily favoured. The Treasury has said that airlines benefit to the tune of £10 billion a year by not having to pay fuel tax and vat. The Treasury expects air passenger duty in 2009/10 to reach just £1.8 billion.
