The gents of the press have an uncanny knack of plucking out the most expensive prices from the fares book when they want to run their favourite old chestnut about the the high cost of travelling by train.
But funny how you can prove the case the other way if the news editor so demands it.
Today's Guardian special supplement on How to Save Money quotes some staggeringly cheap train fares which beat even coach prices in the newspaper's comparison tables.
Bet you won't see these mentioned again next time a knocking story is on the agenda!
