'Rail minister who said passengers pay 'fair fares for a comfortable commute' took the train to work just twice last year... while clocking up 6,000 miles in the car'

'Out of the two commutes she made on the train last year, one was in first class - for which she claimed £91 back in expenses,'

As a regular international train traveller I can honestly say we have some of the most expensive,and lowest quality train services around,a real nightmare at peak commuting times.

Tories are just fucking cunts.

Southeastern Trains are the worst network in the UK unreliable and so expensive.

Someone made a good point in the jobcentre about them looking for work, he said you expect us to look for work in different towns but we don't get paid back but our shit MP's do, maybe it's time to bring back New Deal travel cards.

Pattaya your awesome keep bringing the news which ITK REFUSES to do on his beloved evil party.

A friend was just over from South Africa and her comment on public transport was that she was "shocked how expensive it was".

You can go from Joburg to Cape Town by train one way on a sleeper for as little as thirty-five quid.

A distance of nearly 800 miles.

Same route as the Blue Train!!

I am shocked !..I say shocked when I visit the UK and have to travel to the countryside.
It is outrageously expensive. I can travel from Sydney to Melbourne for half the price as London To Shropshire which is only about one third the distance.

From Margate to Glasgow by train is more expensive than getting a plane ticket abroad, it's cheaper than going New York for a day.
