# I would use, like majority of people, the train more if they dropped the ticket prices

# I use the train quite a lot.
It's a hell of a lot cheaper than owning a car for me.

# ^ This with added 'bonus of getting 1st class tickets for less than standard class by booking a week in advance'

# That's good too.
I've also got a few more years of young person's railcards to milk.

# I know - it's hard bloody work.
I am a bit of a bunny-loving tree hugger at heart, and would really love not to have to fly on my hols (chiefly to avoid BMI baby but that's another rant).

From Manchester to Bordeaux costs more than double to go via train and Eurostar than it does to fly. With the majority of that extra being the connections from Manchester to the Eurostar.

I'm not fussed about the extra time it would take - personally the idea of a nice journey through the French countryside I find appealing, but at least make it vaguely comparable to flying? Please?

# Haha this
My return plane ticket from Gatwick to Bordeaux in 2007 was cheaper than the train ticket from Nottingham to Gatwick

# I like going on the train and it is cheaper to go into London by train then by driving
To get to other places it is cheaper and quicker for me to drive there, even getting the tickets early it is still cheaper for me to drive. If they would just stop arsing about and upgrade the network, then it would be a lot better and a bit cheaper
