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
