Hallelujah! on 08:06 - Apr 25 by StokieBlue | Unfortunately it's irrelevant unless this bit is changed: Ms Haigh said the guarantee would not necessarily mean cheaper prices but that the system would be "more transparent and clearer". We need a cheap, nationalised rail service in order to get people to use it ahead of alternative and more carbon intensive methods of transport. SB |
My daughter is currently studying in France. She uses the rail service a lot. It's state owned and very efficient but bloody expensive. | |

Absolutely. My partner and I went to Tonbridge Wells at the weekend. Cost about £40 in fuel, train would've been £140.00 for the two of us. It's ridiculous and bad for the environment that it is so much cheaper to drive than get the train. | | | |

I hope you weren't disgusted after your trip. And sorry to be pedantic, but it's Tunbridge Wells. Tunbridge Wells was named after Tunbridge, but Tunbridge changed its name to Tonbridge in the 19th century to try to avoid confusion. Interestingly, people in Tunbridge Wells (and Sevenoaks) look down on Tonbridge, even though 3 of the 4 best schools in Kent are based in Tonbridge. [Post edited 25 Apr 12:37]
