I’m having a hard time trying to be sympathetic with this case. For a start, where’s the concern with the CO2 footprint they’re generating, sending locomotives, carriages, and passengers all the way to Venice, and then transporting them back again? Is there literally nowhere anywhere closer to London they could go to that has canals, such as Birmingham, the Venice of the Midlands?

For seconds, Brexit having been on the cards from the date of the referendum in 2016 and having actually occurred 3 years ago, it’s not as if the likelihood of this happening was unknown. I find it difficult to believe that a company that has being doing this for over 140 years was suddenly blindsided by the possibility of border controls…
