Spent the new year oop north in Durham, 392 miles round trip door to door, no driving once we got there.
Cost of diesel: £24 pound at 94.9 p per litre. Averaging 53 ~ 56.2 miles per gallon. Two people traveling plus our crap.
Wondered what it would cost by train:

'Anytime' return fair via whatever GNER is these days:
£205 per person.
Taxi from Alconbury to Huntingdon station: £9
Two return tickets to Durham £410
Taxi to Belmont (nr. Durahm) est £5
Taxi from Belmont to Durham ( inc headache) est £5
Taxi from Huntingdon to Alconbury £9
Total £438 :shock:
It seems like they dont want us to travel - even buying 4x single tickets at £91 each is still way too expensive compared to driving.
No wonder people still use their cars.
