I once travelled some hundreds of miles on a Polish train during a Select Committee visit, when an aeroplane failed to take off. If someone wants the experience of a 1950s British Rail reconstruction, they might enjoy a journey at such a price, but if they want a modern high-speed train, surely the hon. Gentleman would concede that they will pay a little more.
