ELEVEN POUNDS FOR A SIX MILE DIESEL JOURNEY IS MORE EXPENSIVE PER MILE
THAN THAT OTHER RIP-OFF THE HEX FROM PADDINGTON TO HEATHROW !!!!!!!

Its a heritage railway and all heritage railways cost a fortune because
they're tourist attractions, not commuter services. Only a bloody idiot
wouldn't realise this.

Eleven pounds for six miles one-way (£1.83 per mile) does seem a little
steep by heritage diesel standards. The Wensleydale Railway currently
charges eight pounds for sixteen miles (50p per mile).
