A Network Rail executive today told staff to travel by coach to a conference because trains are too expensive.
The official said the cost of 200 employees making a 90-mile trip from Reading to Coventry on the train would be an "untenable" £27,000, compared to £2,400 by coach.
He said that a second-class open return for the journey could cost up to £146-a-head by train, whereas a return journey on a bus would cost £12 per person.
Should Network Rail practice what they preach and back up the industry that provides them with a living? You tell us.
