Independent on Sunday, The - Letters: Pique fares

So, First Great Western can’t disclose how many cheap tickets will be on each train, saying it is “commercially sensitive information” (”Destination hell: train passengers ‘held to ransom’”, 28 May). You bet. While trying recently to buy a ticket well in advance for Virgin Cross-Country I said to the clerk: “I suppose there are only ever six cheap seats per train.” He looked around, and said quietly, “If that!”
