bear in mind USA price can fluctuate WILDLY depending on how late you book and how full the train already is...in Japan, price is reliable!
I know UK, like USA, changes how much they charge based on how full the train is...bad business practice! Better in theory than irl
The money you earn by gouging for every last seat doesn't make up for the money you chase away by having unreliable prices!!

Lol...I wanted to confirm this; checked the Hartford to NYC prices again, this time for traveling *today* instead of next week
Lowest price is now £35...depending on how flexible my departure and arrival times are, tho, I could get stuck with a min of £50!
Take a look: only three trips, for starters...imagine first leaves too early & last arrives too late--you're screwed! Customer-hostile farespic.twitter.com/0ewdyPGTly
It's what airlines do though. To try to level out the peaks a little.
These aren't airplanes though...mitigate peak demand on trains by increasing frequency/volume not by playing with prices
