The Cockney Don Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 A consumer blogger discovered it was cheaper to travel home to Essex from Sheffield via Berlin than to take the train.Jordon Cox, 18, from Brentwood, Essex, was in Sheffield for a lecture and found a one-way train ticket home would cost £47.He opted instead to fly from East Midlands Airport to Berlin and then fly from Berlin to Stansted.Mr Cox said the journey, on 20 January, saved him about £8.He admitted it was not an environmentally-friendly way to travel or the quickest.It took him 12 hours to get home compared with the three-and-a-half hour train journey."Obviously it isn't for everyone. Some people will just want to get home, but if you like travelling and saving money then its a great way to do it."The scenery was also 10 times better than any train trip would have been."Mr Cox, who blogs on the Money Saving Expert website, took a train from Sheffield to Derby and then a bus to East Midlands Airport, from where he flew to the German capital.He said the trip gave him time to visit the centre of Berlin, which he probably would not have been to otherwise.The two flights, bus fares and lunch cost the blogger £44.07, while the train trip plus bus fares and a sandwich would have cost £51.79.

StandFree1982 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'd rather spend the £7 and get home 8 hours earlier. Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 What a weird looking fuckerAye. What the story doesn't tell you is that he took a plane to Berlin by accident, thinking it was a train to Essex. It was just a huge coincidence that it worked out cheaper. He was found wandering around Berlin lost, confused and covered in his own faeces. (maybe) Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 All in all he's no doubt spent more given he likely took the opportunity to visit the red light district and lose his virginity. Link to comment

Pash Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If you've got fuck all better to do why not. He's obviously not going to have sex so might as well go to Berlin for the day. Link to comment
BWG Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Practicalities aside, it shows how ridiculous train prices are in the UK. Was there not a similar point made about London house prices last year as well? I think a boy moved to Barcelona and flew across for work every day and it was cheaper than renting a flat in London.

Clydeside_Sheep Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Practicalities aside, it shows how ridiculous train prices are in the UK. It shows what a massive con "global warming / climate change" is. If there were any credibility to it, there is no way things like this (and about a billion other examples) would or could be allowed to happen. Link to comment
