Brighton, 3rd November 2034 - And finally... this month's rail fare rises across Britain have seen the last ever return ticket on sale for less than ten pounds. From now on, the cheapest return fare in the country, that between the two neighbouring stations of Brighton and Hove, rises from nine pounds eighty-six pence, to ten pounds and four pence.
It is just 25 years to the day since it was announced that one could spend, for the first time ever, more than a thousand pounds on one return rail ticket, that being for a first class return from Newquay, Cornwall, to Kyle of Lochalsh, in Scotland.
It is estimated that now more than 35% of all passengers travelling first class on a return rail journey will have forked out more than a thousand pounds.
