Costs me £7.50 to take the train 8 miles to the next town for a single ticket. £9 something for a return.
Compared to £2.50 for a bus ticket for the same journey (and closer pick up & drop off point).
The trains are extortionate because a lot of people depend on them. The demand will always be there, as will the greed of these companies.
Edit: £2.50 bus fare for a single.
What do you expect? it’s all car centric
The privatisation of the railways was one of the worst things done to working people. Some public services should never be in the hands of for-profit organisations: police, fire service, prison service, hospitals, sanitation, and public transportation.
