    Do UK commuters pay the highest rail fares in Europe?

    As a direct comparison, it cost me 3 euros (walk up price) to get from Berlin Schoenfeld Airport to the Haupbahnhof (essentially Berlin Central). The equivalent UK journey on the Stanstead express. That's a tenth of the price. It was bang on time and and loco hauled too!
