Official: British trains are the most expensive and uncomfortable in Europe
One more example to prove BR is more expensive since I typed my last Birmingham vs Venice blog, according to this report:

UK Train are the slowest, most uncomfortable and the most expensive in Europe (and most probably the worst in the world!). I am truthfully agree with this report, considering the attitude of British Rail, 15 mins delay is considerably acceptable and there is no rubbish bin, storage locker in Train station (well, yeah, security problems), I don't yet found any place worst than British Rail. But, please don't start mention UK Bus services with me..... if you want me to moan a few more hours!!
One thing that's wrong in that article:
No, there is no titling train in GNER, only Virgin has tilting train available and they are not even tilt in most tracks.
One good thing about UK Railways System is the ticket system, they are so confusing that sometimes you can get a bargain ticket, takes my Paris Trip for example, I can get a Advance Booking Ticket from Lancaster to London Euston First Class for only £20 per person, considering a normal Saver Return Standard Class that cost you about £30 per trip. Great, isn't it?

GNER’s high speed tilting train refurbishment as examples of best practice.
