Take a taxi to the station, the train to the required city, and another taxi to the destination. Manchester to London tomorrow morning is £184 in standard class, £255 in first class. People/businesses who can afford that are choosing it because it's better than driving. (Both tickets are significantly cheaper if booked in advance.)
