And what would the fare be using a LCC to NQY be I wonder?
Actually, I looked and for the day in question LGW-NQY with BE could be had for about 30 quid all in - which seems quite good (for me, not BE, would have expected yields to be a bit higher on an August Saturday!)
But I live near Reading and where I am going to in Kernow is near Penzance (ie, quite a way from NQY) so the train just made more sense. Door-to-door times would be not too different I suspect.
The Standard Class Fare was £27, by the way, I thought the extra tenner for the comfort of First Class was well worth it.
