Ridiculous Train Fares
We’re off up to Glasgow next month. Since we’re going without the children we thought we’d try going by train instead, that was until we saw the price.
By car it is a 400 mile round trip which, even with current silly diesel prices at £1.20/litre, would cost around £45.
By comparison, the cost of a two return so-called ’saver’ rail tickets is £120! Note that this is not some last minute booking here, the trip is over a month away and the cheapest ‘advance saver’ available is £120.
It’s a no-brainer - the car wins hands down. When you add the cost of taxis to and from Glasgow Station, it means that we could drive to Glasgow and back three times and still be cheaper.
