It is probably going to get stupid again.

Interestingly, I have a friend moving to Scotland very soon, and one already up there. Thinking public transport (yuck!) might be a fair bit cheaper than taking the S, I started looking at trains!

Even booking it 3 months in advance AND using a disabled railcard (Im disabled!) it still came in at £50 EACH way!

On that basis, its still cheaper to take my car, even including the cost of fuel!

Our petrol prices have risen too!

On the bright side, they appear to have topped out at 95p / litre for 98 octane.

Admittedly we cant get any higher octane over here, but still only costs me £35 - £40 for a fillup.
