Across the continent, flights are priced at a fraction of the cost of train tickets, hampering the growing number of people who want to travel sustainably. The big question is: why?
An EU study found that Britain was comparable to the rest of the EU in pricing and punctuality. And, of course, the taxpayer pays the difference anyway.
My dude ! That is from a decade and a half ago before the Tories slashed the hell out of everything and prices soared. AND it rates UK as most expensive AND had the highest % increase 2000 to 2010.

I’d be curious to see a reference or link. That sounds very counter intuitive

That paper is not making your point for you.
