£2.70 sounds like a steal! £6 sounds more like most fares in scotland. no?

My weekly pass has gone up by £6 per week. From £18.30 to £24.90. It used to be cheaper to buy from Bridgend to Cardiff than Rhoose to Cardiff now its 10p cheaper to go from Rhoose but I can still use train to get to and from Bridgend.

theres nowhere else in the UK youll get a 50mile trip ticket for £2.70

are you sure that's right?

Did you just turn 16?

If there's no corresponding improvement in infrastructure and carriage numbers, then [s]there'll be murdaaah[/s] the British public will sigh disapprovingly.

Newcastle to Durham (single) - 12 minute journey to cover 15 miles: £5.60

£6 sounds like a steal, and £2.70 is incredible value.

6 pound still seems cheap - nottingham to birmingham at it's cheapest is 10 quid for a single and that's during off-peak times.

It's first class ticket too. Valid on one service at 7:30 in the morning and one back at 8pm. I know that it was a steal, but 122% increase is a deal breaker. Now have to sit with the commoners on the express train and pay £13:20 for the privilege.

Would this journey be on GNER by any chance? I always wondered if they would try and start discouraging folk from using it

Would this journey be on GNER by any chance?

Unlikely seeing as GNER hasn't operated trains for a couple of years. 😉

CrossCountry trains.
