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

All train prices are immorally expensive since the railways were privatised. When my mom was young she could get from London to Swansea for £1.50

What is that in today's money, I wonder?

When your mum was young, salaries would have been proportionately much lower.

Good point. I just checked, £1.50 from the 1970's in today's money would be £28.95. A return from London to Swansea now costs £111.90
