Bargain.

Bargain indeed. Plus the added bonus that 'Cross Country Trains, which sells the ticket, said an advance fare was available for £561'

Fark me, that's ridiculous.

I hope that ticket is not on the trains shown on BBC photo:

P.S. Planning to spend around £1000 to travel by train from Birmingham to Moscow and back later this year...

That is a bit steep, hiring a car would be in the region of 300, plane from Bristol (Sleasyjet) 100. Not that either would beat sitting in the 1st class lounge of a train drinking G&T all the way. Cant remember if they give out free complimentary drinks on trains in the UK these days though.

Piss taking of the highest order.
For that kind of money you could get a chauffeured limo to the nearest airport, a plane ticket and luxury transport at the other end. And sexual services (probably).

Anybody got any idea of how much a helicopter taxi would be (plus taxis at either end)?

You can afford it though

If 3 or 4 of you were making the journey a private helicopter taxi would probably cost less.

You should be able to get a train from one end of the country to the other for £100. The fuel must be relatively cheap, that's the whole point of public transport.
