The basic, first class, walk-on return ticket costs £1,002. Get it for as little as £561 by booking in advance. Bargain.
I've just been to Prague and back for £12.

I blame the Conservatives privatisation of the railways.The Conservatives blamed "Labour's micromanagement of the railways",

That is pretty shocking, but shows why trains are only used if necessary. Cost me 3 times more to get a train to Stoke than to ride my motorbike to Newcastle, then I still had to get to work once there. People may moan about petrol prices, but its still cheaper than public transport, and a lot more convenient.Gramaisc said:
