You can always hire a car too


Are you really trying to say car hire is cheaper than travelling by
train? Are you sane?


If you're talking about standard fares (not discounted ones booked way
advance) then it certainly is for many longer journeys, especially if you're
taking more than one person.

A standard class return from Manchester to London is £175 now, you know.

Are you really trying to say car hire, for two people, is dearer than that?
Are you sane?
