I skipped over this issue, but it's absolutely right. Train tickets are ridiculously expensive - to the degree that it's cheaper to drive into town and then pay the parking. And for this price you get absolutely abysmal service.

I don't know where public transport has gone wrong in the UK, but it is truly catastrophic even compared to the post-soviet bloc countries in Europe. In fact, those tend to have much better public transport these days.




I have some privately collected analysis that there is large scale fraud of their already poor performance metrics. It's an open scandal.
