When I was travelling with my SO we ended up in Manchester and needed to get to London. I can't remember the exact fare but it was something like 150 pounds each for the one way train ride ($580 AUD total) vs a similar length trip in Australia which would have been about $110 AUD total.
A complete rip-off IMO.
- stegosaurus 11y agoIt really is just hilariously broken. I do not understand it. Many people seem to hanker for re-nationalisation of the railways. I just want to see sensible business methods really. If you price railway tickets reasonably you have a potential market of millions. Perhaps even 10M+. If you price them as toys for the rich, everyone drives cars. What is going on here? Bonkers. I take budget coaches because they let me book at short notice, often at 1/5th the price or less.
