9.28 on 17th October is £16.50. Most seem around £43.50 though.
Return? South -> North -> South (not the other way around). Why the 17th, seems rather specific.

We need either a fully nationalised railway with the buck stopping with the government, or a fully privatised railway where the company owns everything and so has an interest to improve their trains and service.
I blame Thatcher and Major.....
Go to Germany, Italy or Scandinavia and compare, it's quite funny.

HS2 seems like a poor investment given that, due to falling wages and rising fuel costs long-term, there will be greater demand for low-fare services rather than ultra fast expensive services. I'm sure most would stomach an hour extra or so to quarter the fare.
I love railways, don't get me wrong. But 33 billion... for what? I'd rather they subsidised fares a bit more for ordinary passengers on regular trains.
I always smile when people on Facebook moan about the C2C service to Fenchurch street. One of the best train operators in the country IMO. Unless you get one on one of the last stops before London you can get a seat, very rarely is the service delayed by more than a minute and when it is, it's usually something outside their control (cars crashing into bridges seemed to be popular?)
