At the end of the day though, there is still a choice.
Have said this before but some don't seem to understand.
If the £5k is to much to pay, drive.
Driving would cost more? Well that's the scales for ya.
There's nothing stopping you changing jobs, but that's too much hassle too.
So people accept the train (and paying £5k) because it's the least hassle option.
To move you from A to B.
While it may seem like there's cancellations all the time, I'd challenge someone to take a random month and see how many times they arrive at their destination within 10 mins of the scheduled arrival time.
Because if it's less than half, why are you bothering with the railway anyway?

And what's the number 1 point of a railway?For my part, it's not so much about the money as such, more that I'm paying large amounts of money to undergo a necessary but grimly unpleasant experience. It's basically the same feeling that I have towards going to the dentist, except that I trust my dentist to achieve the expected outcome.
