On another web site, some one was complaing about rail travel, the cost of fares, and the variations in prices, compared with coach travel. Perhaps Graham Jones could make enquiries.
I posted this.
I don't travel by train or bus, but what gets me about trains, is how can a carriage attached to a train, all going to the same destination have so many different prices, can the idiots not calculate cost of running the dammed things, divide by number of seats available, add a reasonable profit margin & make that the cost of of a seat fair for every one. I know some people have travel cards, wife has one, and she gets a reduced fare, but somebody makes that up to full fare surely.
