Right--an unreserved ticket simply books your passage between two specified stations, you can take any* train at any time
That's more like it--the price I gave at the top of the thread is the cheapest (read: slowest) between the two stops...fastest is ~£36

Speed is mostly irrelevant to fares here, because BR decided not to surcharge InterCity trains. Unless (eg Bristol) there's a slow route.

Express trains (conventional, not HSR) in Japan are usually more luxurious and have on-board staff to check tickets, so cost more to operate

Arguably express trains are cheaper to operate, because they do more turns for the same number of driver hours.

Not if they have twice or three times the number of employees on board, though

Well, BR decided not to surcharge in its wisdom. High Speed 1 is surcharged though.
