The Labour Government

Nearly always available cheaper if you buy before you start the journey. £90 now on the next train if you don't mind a bus from Bedford to Peterborough. But not the £460 he quoted (return?)

Daughter was quoted that (give or take a few quid I can’t remember the exact amount) the other week when she needed to get to London and back to monte darlo, I didn’t ask her for a screen shot but she sent me this when she was quoted it not long back.

I was quoted £355 for a two hour single train journey a few weeks back directly on the operators website, which was dearer than a weekly season ticket / taxi / paying someone to give me a piggy back.

Irrespective freezing fares is dog shit. Our train fares should have some correlation irrespective of when you buy (some folk only know their plans at the last minute). For the record this isn’t the current governments fault.

I've no idea how that fare was quoted. It's £81.80 on any train so long as you don't go via London. And a while back was last year, not that it would make any difference, except a bus service for part of the journey.

They should charge extra to not go via London!!! ;)

Daughters was quoted on train line (which you and I have discussed before about their pricing model) but I’ve certainly been quoted £355 direct on operator website. Anyway once they all back under on umbrella hopefully some sanity will be seen.

Never realised David Cameron’s Pig’s head ever had the job but I’m sure you’re right and it would have done a better job. It wouldn’t have been trying to open pork markets in China either.

it’s actually difficult to imagine anyone serving for 50 days, with the clear intention to sabotage the UK from the outset, causing more damage than Truss.

Horseshit. There's nothing to suggest she was doing anything other than what she thought was best to jumpstart the failing economy.

Except the cast iron, copper-bottomed fact that her "mini budget" was deliberately not tested by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility.
