    The move to trains in Europe seems great! But still it costs me ~£300 short notice, ~£100 otherwise per person to get from London to Paris by train so for any trips it’ll still need to be planes unfortunately. I dream of a day I can make an affordable night time trip to the Mediterranean on a train

      The UK has an atrocious train system in terms of cost.

      Point fingers where they belong: your own government.

        amazing that building, maintaining, and fueling a fleet of airplanes is more cost effective than a few engines, coaches, and track.

          No taxes on fuel

          Trains use infrastructures and not the air

          it’s just 2 examples. Complain at your government if you want things to change.
