Really?
I'd be interested to see those statistics.
I'm not doubting people actually do use the train but from the (albeit anecdotal) evidence I've seen, trains are used in a much much lower proportion than buses and cars. Especially by students (which is what the article is about), I can't think of any university outside London where people would commute to it by train.
Thinking of the major cities here - Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham etc etc don't have a train network as such.
Trams and metro's yes, but not trains. Liverpool is the only city I can think of with a "train" link.

Brighton does, but that's practically London these days anyway
