'Are you out of your actual minds?' Lee said in his post.

'We live an hour away from London and train tickets on the weekend can set us back over £100 each. So then we drive which is the total opposite of what public transport is supposed to encourage?' said another. Rail tickets increased by 4.9% in England and Wales in March.
