It makes you think, but of course this is the company that makes it cheaper for companies to haul their rolling stock around the country by road, whatever next.

Yes, interesting to see what ATOC will say, if at all.
A topper is proper if the train's a non-stopper!

The economics of a coach have probably been true for a very long time.

Back in the 90s, for one person Three Bridges to Leeds by train was cheaper than driving my Landy (a very expensive vehicle to run), but break-even was only about 2-3 people. (probably 2 adult tickets - I still had a young persons railcard in those days)
