You have made some very good points regarding the (un)acceptability
of using colossal sums of taxpayers' money - vastly greater sums
than the already huge amounts spent on rail - to subsidise
professional people's long distance daily commute.


You think that only unprofessional people should commute to work?


In the UK, "professional" implies reasonably or very well-off people,
such as lawyers and accountants.
