And we ration busy trains with pricing. We have some of the most expensive trains in the world (and an inability to build any new tracks at a sensible price)

Water, too, because our water infrastructure is dire. I imagine we have some of the most expensive water in the world too

I was once taking a trip from Canterbury to Glasgow. The train ride to Stansted airport cost more than twice the flight to Glasgow. Also, it's crazy just how cheap the flights are in Europe. How do the airline companies make any money?

		Yeah the airport trains can be pricey! > How do the airline companies make any money? Addons and cargo I believe (and cutting every single cost you can imagine, then more). A lot of people have the perception nobody buys addons but the airlines make a tonne of money from them
