Are these train journeys crazy/immorally expensive, in your view?

I was gobsmacked, and can't see how these prices can be justified:

eg:

London to the Lake District, 3 nights, based on a shared cabin = from £6,300 per passenger.

  • You are buying an "experience" rather than a commuter trip so the price will reflect this.

    I expect the trains, dining, accommodation will all be suitably "White Lotus" level for this level of dosh.

    I used to find it a tough pill to swallow when my train commute to work was £6k a year (70 miles each way) which took a significany chunk of my income.
