How about we get a single return fare (even restricting to realistic commutes, not whole country) down to €49 before we worry about multiple use!

I paid £34 one-way from London to Winchester yesterday. It's a bit more than 100km and a ~1hr ride. For 2 people doing that round trip, it's cheaper to rent a car for the day.

I also paid €30 for a plane ticket to Norway recently. How is rail so ridiculously expensive/uncompetitive here???

Nah, we're just getting rid of return fares instead :-)
