Unhappy St Albans commuters

trainpeople600

We have the most complicated train fares in the UK since the de-nationalisation of British Rail – fares can range from 20 pence a mile to 80 pence a mile dependent on the route, time of day, advance booking, discount cards and whether or not you’re wearing a pink hat. And St Albans to London happens to be the most expensive commuter route per mile in the country. So all these people I sketched on the train today while visiting clients in London have good reason to look so miserable.
