uk.railway would have been a more traditional choice.

Yes, at least there any proposal involving rail would have been met with
fawning adulation and you could have all screamed abuse at the OP for
daring to find fault with the railways.

The debate about rail vs air appears frequently. There was one today.

The answer is always the same: compare like with like, if you want any
sensible conclusion.

With luck you could have all formed the usual circle jerk and screamed
"liar" at him.

Those sorts of childish bad manners are a uk.transport thing.
