I really find this almost impossible to believe....
The £1002 Penzance to Thurso fare was unearthed in a survey by rail expert Barry Doe, who said that the price of long-distance journeys had risen by up the three times the level of inflation since privatisation in the mid-1990s.
Mr Doe told the Evening Standard newspaper that even the £1,002 ticket had been available for £486 as recently as September 2008.
Three train companies share the 1,700 mile (2,736km) return trip - First Great Western, Cross Country and Scotrail.
