I know what's involved, it was the original poster who seemed to be missing the point. For the vast majority of people flying is much quicker, and actually if you're booking quite late or want flexibility the rail service isn't particularly cheap.

I would also point out to toon22 that if any leisure passengers use the service contributing £28 per sector, that's a £28 bonus that wouldn't otherwise be earned. Possibly toon22 also doesn't realise it's likely that most pax on the Norwich sector will have come from Aberdeen, again the few pax that join at MME will be a bonus.
