So what you're actually saying here is that if you're on your own and not
eligible for a Railcard then air is the preferred mode?
Same as I've found that an adult with a child on a family railcard can both
travel a lot cheaper than myself on my own. I asked if I could have a
railcard and buy a ticket for a "phantom" child and myself but they said
that would be classed as fraudulent travel. So when I wanted to go Leeds to
London I took the plane as it was a lot cheaper (and faster!).
