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
Train trips tend to be daily, local, spontaneous affairs, vs air travel which is rarer, goes further, and is likely planned in advance
I don't want a pre-booked railway either, but we are talking about intercity not regional or commuter trains. They aren't so spontaneous.
Also that ticket is on the day. Book before advance tickets sold + much cheaper
