...and what really turns the knife is the fact that even though you're paying an extortion amount for the journey, you're not even guaranteed to be able to physically get onto the train, let alone get a seat...
When I used to (attempt) to catch the peak train from Kingston upon Thames to Waterloo quite often the trains would arrive completely packed - not even any room to stand. All you could do was wait for the next one.
In the train companies defence though, at least they've devised a plan to reduce congestion on the trains... they're going to put the prices up to encourage people to use others means of transport!
