Performer criticises operator over cancellations in journey after paying ‘eye-watering’ price for first-class Brighton-Bangor return
A rail passenger who paid an “eye-watering” £589 for a return train ticket from Brighton to Wales has hit out at operator Avanti West Coast for cancelling parts of his journey and providing “a masterclass in poor service”.
Drag performer Le Gateau Chocolat – Gateau for short – paid the sum for a first-class open return ticket between Brighton and Bangor in north Wales in order to perform for a private customer as a birthday treat.
