There's some interesting discrepancies in the price of tickets for some of the forthcoming galas - clearly not based on mileage!
For example, the Nene Valley Railway diesel gala this weekend is charging £22 for a day rover, for a line length of six miles.
In contrast, the Severn Valley Railway diesel gala is charging £18:50 for a day rover, for a line length of sixTEEN miles.
So, are the NVR overcharging for the facilities offered - or are the SVR undercharging? Personally, I think that it's a bit of both. I think that £22 is a bit steep for what the NVR offers, equally £18:50 is probably a bit low, given that the SVR was charging £16 for a day rover back in the mid-1990s.
