This evening I booked lots of trains (and hostels) mostly in Canada. My best friend decided, for some inexplicable reason, to move up North. So I bought my train ticket in advance (which I don’t do often) because I knew it would be expensive – my rail card doesn’t go much further north than where I live. So I four hour trip there and four hours back cost me £75.

Then I booked a train from Halifax to Montreal which takes 20 hours and includes a bed and that cost me £150.

And the government wonders why people don’t use public transport.
