Same price for midweek, as long as you don't travel before 8:30am, at which point it's about Ł35 if you book in advance.

This is getting stupid now. My 5 stop, 25 minute journey from Braintree to Chelmsford is now costing me Ł7 a day for a return. Thats Ł35 a week on train fares. When my missus is working in Chelmsford, we can put Ł20 in the car and it will easily last us all week.

This time last year the fare was under Ł6 (but still expensive imho). I thought the idea was to encourage people off the roads? If we both decided to get the train rather than drive it would cost us Ł50 a week more.

Madness.
