Well said, Jack. Chiltern Railways offer *excellent* value for
money,
whether as a taxpayer or a farepayer.

£2.50 for a *Single* High Wycombe - Beaconsfield. Value?


Why is it a rip off ? I suspect its the price the market will bear, in
which case its hardly a rip off.
If you don't like it, catch the bus, there are about 3 or 4 per hour
between High Wycombe and Beaconsfield.
I suspect Chiltern rate the local Beaconsfield - High Wycombe
traveller as less important to the overall business compared with
commuters to/from London or Birmingham, and longer distance travel on
intermediate stations (eg Warwick to Gerrards Cross or High Wycombe to
Stratford upon Avon).

Having said that, you could just be moaning for the sake of it... you
seem to have a real chip on your shoulder about Chiltern Railways and
Arriva buses, neither of which are anywhere near as bad as the picture
you paint of them.
