That line is a magnificent feat of engineering. It will also have cost you a fraction of what a similar UK train journey would cost.
Yes, I think it cost us 26€ each for the whole journey.

Madness isn't it? I'm going up to Manchester on Sunday and again the following Friday. There's three of us the first time and two the second trip. I looked at the train as would rather not do that drive twice in a week, but the prices were insane. Far cheaper to drive, even accounting for petrol, parking, etc.

(I did check months in advance as well, so not just expensive because I left it late)

My mate had same dilemma for a Manchester trip, then he saw the train prices so chose to take the car.

That said, some of the issue is a regional or train operating company thing. I’ve got three and a half hours on a train in Scotland next week, £27 standard class or £42 first class with complementary food and (alcoholic) drinks. Zero chance of such a fare with TfW or GWR.
 
I'm a rather plain eater but I could eat that it looks bloody lovely.

We had shop bought meatballs tonight they were ok, but I'm not a fan of meatballs.
Here’s a recipe for you to pass on to Mrs Max, Max.

And if you can, leave it in the fridge for 24 hours before eating it. This is the nearest thing I’ve tried to what Pego has been eating in Bologna.
