Why are train tickets more expensive at rush hour?
The rail system in the UK is at breaking point. You may have seen that the Govt. has just announced plans to build a number of coaches to increase volume of passengers able to be carried ny 10% Fares are higher at rush hour to discourage people using the already overcrowded rail system at that time. That’s why you can pick up really good bargains if you travel later. Rail travel is just too expensive in the UK anyway.
