LTNman - difficult to add a pound to train fares to Luton Airport Parkway, without adding a similiar amount to train fares to Luton and/or Harpenden. If you don't, someone will pick up on it and it'll feed its way into the local press somehow.
Furthermore, on tickets purchased immediately before travel (as opposed to being booked months in advance), the principle of the further you travel, the more you pay is normal - break this principle and you start to get people doing strange things to save money.
The high prices charged at Stansted train station work only because it's a terminus station rather than being on the way to somewhere else.
