I guess you could mitigate the cost by car pooling, but still, it's going to be close. Gas prices, weight fees, insurance fees, wear and tear. I did the math, in my case, it won't work.

What do you pay per litre for Petrol?

it's around 1£ I guess

you're basically trapped

1.2 - 1.3

seems like it's about the same

you are a high tax country tho?

but it's still cheaper to drive into London

the Trains are insane

Probably the highest taxes in the world, here.

but I haven't checked in a while. You never know in Europe, someone might pass a tax and take the lead.

depending on your location within some countries, it can be worse than here it seems

if wiki is to be trusted

due to local tax rates

The Europhiles talk about Freedom of movement but it's too expensive for me to take a train to the Capital

A city I know very well

"socialist" parties here are always screaming about lowering public transportation costs

never seems to happen though, even when they're in power

I would say it's one of the few things I would agree with Corbyn on

yeah, but will he actually manage to do anything about it

if he's elected

Nationalise the Rail

national company here is the most expensive <:LUL:372856126007410689>

fuck

and if Denmark can't do it

bernie sander's socialist paradise

who can

our rail is owned by the French

<:WutFace:353173822347935744>

our only private competitor to the national one is british

and it's the one I always use when I visit family and such, due to it frequently being less than half price of what the national company charges

though I guess it's a subsidiary of a german company now. Arriva

oh, they are here too

but certain lines, are just outrageous

We have Virgin and GWR

me mate Duncan has gone straight fire again

what the fuck has he said now?

truth bombs for normies

he's woken up on the wrong side of the bed
