Glasgow International (yeah right) has a shuttle bus that takes twenty minutes to get into the centres, which is about as close to where one wants to be as a lot of train stations (though not Buchanan Street, of course).
With regards to expense, I never claimed the aeroplane was cheaper -- but it would have to be a heck of a lot more expensive than the train to outweigh the speed advantage.
I guess the relative desirability of modes of transport depends a lot on how enjoyable you find using them.
This is quite important. If I want to arrive somewhere tired and irritated (more than usual) and snappish, I'll take a sleeper train. Otherwise, I'll step onto an aeroplane and step off an hour or two later having read a few chapters of a novel, ready and raring to go.
