A fine mess
I was conversing with my brother, a London resident, this afternoon and mentioned in passing that I'd been thinking of going to the Railfair at Chiswick on Saturday, 5th April. It occurred to me that it would be a good idea to check train times and look for the cheapest fare on the day.
Initially, no problem as I'd requested Dorchester to London (Waterloo) and return on the same day. The quoted fare was a very reasonable, not to say cheap, £23.50.
However, I just wondered if the fare would be the same to/from Gunnersbury which is one of the two nearest stations to the event.
£67.50 !!!!!!!!!!
The lunatics have definitely taken over the asylum.
