What's that you say? You're in Manchester but need to pop down to London (2 hours 10 mins, 209 miles) tomorrow for a meeting? That'll be £338/$467.

- dx034 9y agoThe UK is not a good example on how rail systems can work. Rather look at France, Germany, Switzerland or Japan. HSR tickets in most countries have an upper limit, only the (partly) privatised UK system has these absurd prices.
- switch007 9y agoYou don't need to tell me, I live there :D What's worse is that French, German and Dutch national rail operators have subsidiaries running rail contracts in the UK. So in a way we help fund the fantastic continental rail services... But I understand that rail services on the continent are also heavily subsidised.
