I wonder what level of mortgage you'll need to take out to afford a ticket.

I aim to be consistent. And I don't think anyone would say that these events
are ever cheap.

It's going to be a sell-out, regardless of the fare. And they'd be
able to sell reserved platform tickets for a hefty price all along the
route, if that were possible.

Will TfL have to lock away all their H&S staff in order to deliver on
the promise that "They [passengers] are going to have coach doors that
open, they are going to have steam coming down through the windows and
they are really going to feel as though they are travelling back in the
1890s" ?

If I remember, they're going to do a ticket ballot - that's what they were talking about before. I'm about to email the LTM and ask for all the details now.
