How much does a train from Cornwall to Scotland cost?

[pzz76077]

My monthly ticket here costs me 49.5 euros a month to travel on any bus, tram, metro or local train.

To go by train from Vienna to Venice, off peak, 49 Euros each way.

Venice to South of France, 149 each way.

The UK has gone mad. Wasnt it Prescotts job to sort out public transport??
What happened to him??

Would HMRC be ok if you put that ticket through expenses?

[Andy2]

At that price I would expect a gold bar free with the ticket

Amsterdam to Brussels will cost you €44 for the return trip

With rail companies run by the Dutch and Belgian governments.

The Dutch, German, French and Swiss railways all have a good reputation, are all quite affordable and they're all run by state owned businesses. The British railways have been tulipe for a long time, but are now very expensive too.

Railways that are run by the British government tend to be an expensive mess. That doesn´t mean other governments are incapable of running railways.

The whole argument 'well sir if you bought your ticket in advance' really gets my feckles up..

A train service should support business not scare it away, in most if not all European countries I've been to you can walk up to the station buy the ticket at fraction of the cost had you walked into a station in the UK for the same distance.

Nationalise the network - please..

Would it be possible to get a country who's government knows what they're doing to nationalise our railways for us?
