Given I paid £70 for a one-hour first class train journey the other day and had the train been full I would have had someone facing me and sharing the table, with the seat that only had a tiny bit of recline, and no food or drink and no associated perks, I am not sure if that actually is an odd analogy at all.

Given how little many people on this forum pay for flights (good on them, although I am generally very unsuccessful), £70/hour is not far off what they pay for a fully flat seat and food and drink anyway (which is better than the train seat I had). In fact many here might even consider £70/hour for flights in CW as "I have not done very well at all in finding a decent fare".

It's pretty much about the hourly rate, I guess, and the hardware (clearly, the suburban train service in first class does not involve a flat bed) is what I am trying to say.
