Lol...I wanted to confirm this; checked the Hartford to NYC prices again, this time for traveling *today* instead of next week
Somehow a non-issue in Japan, which has fixed fares no matter how early or late you book

Well it's a problem in Britain, and not a new one (BR had Apex fares, after all, as well as Savers and Supersavers).
-
Isn't it funny that it's a problem in the country which charges little in advance then raises the rates close to date of travel?

-
France does the same though, indeed the TGV network is pre-booked only.
-
By pre-booked do you mean you can't buy in stations on the day of travel? Genuinely curious bc it's an ambiguous term...
-
You have to have a reservation before boarding a train. You can't just jump on like you can here.
-
In most Japanese stations (and all Shinkansen stations) you can't even get on the platform without a ticket
-
However, the ticket may be an unreserved ticket (ie, guarantees you passage but no guarantee of a seat), depending on the train you take
-
Are they fixed time tickets or open tickets? (ie if you miss your train do you have to pay again, or at least queue up again?)
