Next week KLM are taking me and the wife to Amsterdam for £22 each PLUS UK air passenger duty £13 each PLUS UK Airport Passenger Service Charge £13.32 each. FLYBE will fly us both back from Dusseldorf for £49.36 each [including all taxes].....however the cost of parking our little car for 4 days at SOU is £68!!!
No wonder the airlines are having a lean time.......somebody is making a mint.
In which case the train link rules (As long as SWR are not on strike, have no delays, cows on the line, and not any engineering works with a RR bus)
