Content: Also by carefully choosing the ticket I could get the price to be as low as £15, this was for a train that leaves at 10am onthe 22nd December and returns at 5pm, without a railcard. To understand the true cost of traveling by car take a look at http://www.whatprice.co.uk/car/car-costs.html  Petrol is around 10p a mile, servicing and wear and tear costs and additional 3.5p a mile, and depreciation is a further 7p a mile (I am ignoring insurance and tax). This takes us to around 20p per mile and the cost of your journey by car to £47, which is comparible to the train journey with the more expensive return, and far more expensive than the cheap 1 day return I could find. However I do agree that these prices are out of date, and hopefully we will get to publishing new sample prices soon. In the mean time shop around on the web and you might be suprised at what bargains you can find! Course, why should we have to shop around and try to find the best ticket, the train pricing structure is stupidly complicated and means a lot of people get ripped off on those last minute journeys....

"These prices are seriously out of date. I love the trains and would take the train everywhere if I could because it is so less stressful than driving. I want to go from Bracknell to Leicester for one day shopping 4 weeks from now. The best return ticket I can get is £101 per person so that's £202 for me and my girlfriend. For some stupid reason it's only £30 to buy a single so I could mess about buying 4 singles (I assume this makes their ticket sales look better which is why they encourage it) but that's still £120 for two people to Leicester.
