Cross Country Trains, which sells the ticket, said a booked in advance fare was available for £561.
The price by Taxi? Nowhere near I should think!
You could hire a car for two days and pay the petrol for around £300!
Same Journey by coach? £160 with 3 changes.
It is time for the public to have a serious sense of humour failure with regards to public transport. What should happen is that the government should set a maximum price per mile (as measured town center to town center) in a straight line, with a sliding scale allowing longer journeys to be cheaper than shorter. Then this should be imposed as a maximum price on the rail operators.
