I suppose the issue is a bomb on a plane can easily bring the thing down, killing everyone. A train is pretty tough so a bomb in a carriage would probably kill far fewer unless it was a properly big bomb.

But the tube is always heaving and normally everyone has a bag, so seeing as there are no checks it would make it a lot easier.

They target planes because it just garners a lot of attention. If a train gets lost in Aberdeen for instance, nobody really cares or knows. A plane goes missing from Malaysia, gets attention for months.
