Hi all,
I've just done a quick fare check for London Kings Cross to Hull.
I was pleased to see that Hull Trains has finally put on the internet, their own Value singles, instead of phone/station only.
The shocking comparison, however, when browsing through different TOCs prices is:
Cheapest SC GNER single= £11.25.
Cheapest SC HTs single= £15.00
Cheapest FC GNER single= £33.15
Cheapest FC HTs single= £64.00.
HT only Saver single= £39.00
Any TOC (incl GNER) Saver Single= £74.00 (On that respect HT is very good)
HT only SOS= £58.00
ANY TOC= SOS £79.00
HT FOS= £99.00
Any TOC FOS= £119.00
GNER charge £24 for a 2-course meal, and £29 for a 3-course meal.
I admit that i'm not sure what you get exactly on HT, but if it's not to GNER's standard, let alone exceeding it, I probably wouldn't be happy.
The pictures on HTs website, of hot food, don't really inspire me TBH.
