Is Eurostar a better option than flying?

Taking the decision to travel to Europe by rail on Eurostar really depends on where you live in the UK and where your destination is. If you want to travel from the south of England to northern France, Holland or Belgium it may be quicker and less hassle to take Eurostar from Waterloo, London, than to fly. You can just arrive a few minutes before the train is due to depart, no getting out to the airport to check in hours before your flight. You can arrive directly in the city centre of your destination, no waiting for luggage at the airport and then getting in the city centre of your destination. It could also be cheaper, you don’t have to pay Air Passenger Duty etc and it is a much greener way to travel than all the CO2 emmission caused by flying.
Well that’s the theory but is it true in reality?
