That's exactly the way its been with the BA service! The return fares were about £150 which I think is reasonable for a well timed reliable regular service especially when compared to the cost of rail travel in the UK. People have been prepared to pay for it because over 5000 people on average have it used per month leading to average load factors of 70-80%.
