High Speed rail is not for the rich only. We travelled to Switzerland last by Eurostar and TGV. It took about 3 hours longer than by plane but it was so much easier and not huglely expensive.

Around £100 return London to Geneva.
Just going by a number of adverse reports with not many happy bunnies!
The return price you quoted isn't bad, I'm assuming that the further you go, the more economical it works out; just not very cheap if you're only travelling within the UK. However, I might have to investigate some Eurostar prices, I've just come back from Brno, in the Czech Republic by plane; less than two hours, but it's all the faffing around at airports that wears me down, maybe I'll see what the other, leg-friendly, options are for future jaunts. Is there a Senior discount for Eurostars etc?
