£250 is comical.
I got a first class train to York from London without pre-booking and it was over £300 I think.

To go first class from Newquay to the Kyle of Lochalsh
Is over a grand.

Fucking Concorde would have been cheaper than this.

So that's what they're being used for now.

well, travelling on a train is much cheaper than that.
Unless you don't pre-book. But you'd hardly be surprised if you turned up at the airport without prebooking and a flight cost a fortune, so isn't it basically the same thing?

you've done well there.
It's only about £280 from Embra to London.

Top job.

You have to drink a lot of booze
to cover the £250

yes, agreed
but then only a fool (or apparently a lawyer, Ms Swipe ;) would think that trying to get a ticket for a friday night train actually at the station was going to end up anything other than the fiscal equivalent of anal rape with sandy lube.

I was merely trying to look on the positive side.
