Save the Environment – Go by Car

So there was Mrs Fogg and I, looking at going to Leeds by train a nice relaxing time, we went to find out whether we could save money on train fares by booking in advance, “oh no, you can only do a day return, otherwise you will have to buy single tickets if this is journey does not return the same day”. Ok so what does that work out to then, well to travel 15 miles on a train will cost you £19.50 per person, right so £39 for two Foggs to travel to Leeds and return the next day, ok plus either £15 each way by taxi to the station or £12 per day to park your car at the station. So let me get this right, it will cost between £53 and £69 to go to Leeds overnight, plus the cost of hotels, or (wait for it) £11 in petrol to drive there and back. So I ask you where is the incentive to save the planet and use the train. THERE AINT ONE!!!!!!
