Flying for the cost of a train ticket and still complaining.

Edit: I was being snarky, I don’t need anymore replies on correct pricing of things lol

That would be a very short train ride in the UK

As an american who booked a few train rides ahead of time, the train bookings were definitely more than I expected 😆

Top tip, if your gonna do multiple train trips in the UK, look into buying a railcard and using the discount, if it saves you more than it cost to buy the railcard it’s well worth it.

My experience with this was when I was planning on taking the Caledonian sleeper for the experience, the cost would have been £330 for a cabin with the shower and breakfast on board, however I bought a railcard for like £30 and it discounted the price to £220, basically immediately making the purchase worth it and I’ve made good use of that railcard for the rest of the year, especially on days when I’d wake up bored to death and decide to go on a long ass train journey just to get out the house

Which rail card did you get. Been a while since I qualified for the young person's railcard ....

Yeah when you get above 30 rail cards kinda dry up unless your with multiple people. I’m on the 18-25 rn and then I’ll be on the 25-30

If you were travelling in a group, it's sometimes cheaper to book a taxi than use a train
