  • It really shouldn't be cheaper. Air travel is cheap because so little of it is taxed. We've become accustomed to cheap air travel and so prying that away will be difficult, but it needs to happen.

    I just checked - If I need to be in Edinburgh by early afternoon on Monday, I could get the train for £75 or fly for £35. That is madness.

  • I had this exact thing recently, I needed to get from Exeter to Manchester, £300 on the train, £60 on the plane...

  • I realise £75 is almost double, but most could manage the extra £40 for Scrabble's flight.

    An extra £240 less so.
