A stupid idea. Make it more transparent. Tiered pricing and make it clear: Local. Cheap as chips, if you keep changing, every stop, long distance, 3 pence per kilometer (5 pence per mile). That means it stops at every station. You can go from Penzance in Cornwall to Thurso in Scotland on the ticket, but you will change trains 10 times, and it will cost you 70 Pounds. It will also take 60 hours instead of 28 hours or less. Rapid - next tier up. Stops every 10-15 miles. Add 25%. Limited Express Add 20% compound Express Add 20% compound on top of that. Super Express Super City Pendolino / InterCity225 / IC125 Shove on advance booking discounts, tiered again, but walk up on the day, heaven help you. In terms of the medium distance 20km-100km, the customer is screwed., but plan and book in advance, get the bargains. telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/road-and-rail-transport/10236852/Cost-of-single-rail-tickets-may-be-halved.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
