@aral@glynmoody just checked in Italy, Milan-Brescia roughly 50 miles as well - 21 € for a one single ride... 28 € first class -
@giovannioteri@aral yes, but Italian trains have a romance totally lacking in the British ones... -
@glynmoody@aral Romance? meaning that an Italian train is somewhat a "schroedinger's cat box" , you can both get to destination, or not. -
@giovannioteri@aral "it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive..." -
@glynmoody@aral made a huge mistake, 21 € for the ultra-fast "Freccia" 45 min s 68, a ride on a normal "for the rest of us" one 7€ -sorry-

@aral@barnet_rebel Why not renationalise it so it would be £46.80 return (no biz sense), curled up sandwiches and broken down trains?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral@marieiram that is a relic of BR days I believe. Simple revenue protection. -
@janlbuxton
@aral maintaining a relic isn't a sign of efficiency though right? -
@marieiram@aral Indeed. However it is a form of efficiency to the business if not customer as it is easy way to minimise revenue loss.

@aral which is better than the £23.80 for the opposite direction (or £43.80 for anytime return from Brighton to Clapham Junction)#asymmetry -
@aral also Victoria-Brighton in an evening is £26.10 straight up or £17.40 if you buy the 'Super Off Peak Day Return' from Brighton
