There fair from my local station (when it reopens) starts from about
£70
per
person if I book well in advance don't mind not arriving till the mid
afternoon
(if the trains are on time) and doesn't garnetee a seat. That's a lot
more
than
a return flight to Paris from my local airport.

Thats rubbish.

Perhaps you have easyjet flights, booked well in advance at an
inconvenient
hours.
But, try it at a weekend and it'll be 70 quid if you book well in
advance in
winter.
OTOH business hours flights on BA will cost over £200

Why would I fly BA if I can get flights cheaper?

Because there aren't many easyjet ones.
So you have more flexibility, can cancel etc.
So if you arrive 38 minutes ahead of the flight you might get on.

I'd be stung
for £145 for the cheapest business hours trains.

Aren't you in the north west somewhere? you can get them for less.

Not according to the booking office at my station or trainline, if you know
someone who can beet there prices the please tell me as It's quite obvious that
both of them are overcharging.
