At these times literal highway robbery would be cheaper, and the only reason you don’t choose it instead is because of how long it would take to reach Manchester by horse. Where travelling a couple of hours in Australia would barely take you to a different town and would accordingly cost a few dollars, travelling a couple of hours in England is treated as interstellar transport to a brave new land, and can cost literally hundreds of bounds. The bad thing is that you have to buy train tickets, which in an era of privatised rail can involve truly criminal price-gouging. ![]()
