It's been 15 years since I have used trains in this country. Now I know why.
Single ticket, Bristol to Brum, departs 6.30am..............................£47................£47 for a single. They're having a laugh.
Was in the Czech Republic last year. Went on a train there, return ticket - 1.5hrs each way. The cost was only £5 return. OK, it wasn't high speed (old Russian built trains for the anoraks out there), but I had a compartment to myself, like we used to have on the old BR trains. So relaxing, I fell asleep. No drunken, foul-mouthed, ticket-dodging hoodies, blaring music and shouting into their phones.
Think it may be another decade or two, before I step on a train in rip-off Britain.
