On way way to London. This is the train I used to get every day. It always used to be full. The ticket cost me £76.20 for the day. It’s no wonder the carriages are empty.

3 小時內	Dirty Air Kills dirtyairkills	It’s empty because of work from home / hybrid working since the pandemic, in which most people who are able to, work from home on a Friday. And most of those commuters from the South Coast are able to. It’s far busier during the middle of the week. That said continual fare rises, let’s be clear, driven explicitly by government policy since privatisation, have made peak time rail travel unaffordable to most.

I've not been on a train into London since Covid on a work day, but before covid, catching trains from Woking as near enough last stop on the fast trains into Waterloo, it was always standing room only by the time they got to Woking. Sometimes couldn't even get on. Prices were still silly money peak time even then and didn't stop people.

6 小時內	Paul Newman scornpaul	Hold up...this is disingenuous... £76.20 is the most expensive fair, with an all day tube travel added. The cheapest is £25 on the day.

Which is, I think, well known as the most expensive option between Brighton and London, though probably a tad quicker than the alternatives. Guessing it’s quiet because the smart money took Thameslink. It is worth shopping around. It is possible to do that route for a fraction of the price.
