- hexbin010 10mo agoCool so one single example that doesn't support your claim and zero interest in discussing it on a wider basis.
- hdgvhicv 10mo agoSouthampton 20p/mile Brighton 17p/mile Battle 22p/mile Compare to say wilmslow to Manchester (33p/mile), or northwich (29p/mile) Compared to to people doing one off journeys. London-Southampton 77p/mile, Brighton 46p/mile, Battle 53p/mile
- hexbin010 10mo agoBrighton is £559/mo for the Thameslink only ticket (the cheaper one) and 50.5 miles to London Bridge. Even being generous saying 22 days a month, that's 25p/mile. Just give up. I've proved your "A typical season ticket into London is under 20p a mile" claim wrong multiple times. Southampton to Waterloo is just about the exception at ~19p/mile if you assume 22 days per month which I think is exceptional.
- hdgvhicv 10mo agoAnnual tickets are 40 weeks meaning 5.75 trips per weekly ticket (230 a year). Newbury works out 21p a mile, Ipswich 23p a mile, Cambridge 22p/mile, so yes prices have crept up just above 20p/mile in the last year or two.
