They've slowed down that much? When I worked for British Rail, London
King's Cross to Edinburgh took 3hr 59 mins by InterCity 225

Luton (about 30 miles out of London) to Edinburgh with low cost carrier
easyJet.com for around £20 ($40) in just under 50 minutes.

Plus 2 hours check in time at the departure airport, and a further 45
minutes to get to the centre of Edinburgh, don't forget :-)
