Train would be ~£250 return.
You’re right, it’s absolutely crazy the level of subsidy for flights when we know the likely cost of the externalities.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Kramer, i'm going to train it over, purely because I want to give it a try, and Bristol flights don't tie in for me, but I can't justify the time and money to come home on the train, not vs that ^^^

I prefer the train and it’s much more civilised IMV.
I just wish it made financial sense too.

Planes have to travel FULL for the economics to work, so they sell the last tickets at ever reducing prices. The cost of a train ticket is 75% tax/social costs for the workforce/etc

It's not just financial. Even accounting for check in time flying is often significantly quicker. Also plenty of train routes require changes, which is a bit of faff/hassle - especially if lugging about ski equipment.

It doesn't seem like that's the case. For long haul flights buying a couple of months before departure is nearly always cheaper than buying within a week of departure.
