There are screenshots of that for each of these routes, except for the one in Turkey. I admire the sheer dedication but that person needs to be introduced to OpenStreetMap-based tools posthaste ;) 10/ #UTKComparesRailPrices

And at the low end both UK long-distance and EIP are 0.23%. So I guess I can now say Pendolino prices are for us somewhat like British prices except less terminology and there are plentiful options that are actually affordable 9/ #UTKComparesRailPrices

Then they decided to derive price per 100 km as share of monthly salary. Unsurprisingly, UK last minute takes the cake at a whopping 1.05%, EIP last minute distorts the stats at 0.77%… And on the other end of the scale is the TGV at 0.18%? How degressive is SNCF's tariff? 8/ #UTKComparesRailPrices

They sorted the price chart be difference between early and late booking! …And the Polish Pendolino is number two, somehow! (See page 17 in the original report for the full one) I'm kind of surprised by the Frecciarossa being the most expensive last-minute at €125 (and just barely short of the AVE at a month out at ~€68 - I guess affordable AVE tickets sell out earlier?) 6/ #UTKComparesRailPrices

Oh, this is curious, apparently the Polish railway regulator, UTK, has released last month results of their own research comparing railway ticket prices on some important domestic railway routes in European countries (Polish only, though): https://utk.gov.pl/pl/dokumenty-i-formularze/opracowania-urzedu-tran/22843,Jak-droga-jest-kolej-pasazerska-w-Europie-Analiza-danych-w-wybranych-krajach-eur.html The cover has a Thalys photo on it, to start with a small laugh, I guess 1/ #UTKComparesRailPrices #rail #Europe #bahnbubble #UTK
