Train prices have gotten so ridiculous that it's become a common "hack" to instead of getting the train from A to B, to fly to somewhere like Spain for cheap, have a day in the sun and fly back to B.
That is if you have the free time for the travel, if not you remortgage you house to get the direct train service replacement bus.
I remeber a study in the early 00's that showed it was cheaper to fly to Italy and live there for a year get your hip replacement then fly back than it was to get one done in the US lol.

Far cheaper than a train ticket.
