As far as I'm aware the bond for the course has been £60k for a fair while now, I wonder if it will remain like this in the future or will it possibly rise? Personally I have no idea..
I would be extremely, extremely suprised if it ever got any "cheaper"! Things like this will inevitably get more expensive, whether it be due to increasing fuel prices, inflation, increased trainer costs etc. The fact that so many guys/girls are willing to pay the price to train on such a good scheme anyway is probably an indication it itself that prices could probably go up a tad and still not put off all that many people (whats a rise of 3 grad when your borrowing 60 anyway!). altho you could say the attraction of the scheme at the moment is the price (in comparison to OAA and FTE)...we'll just have to wait and see what happens i guess...
