The UK's Network Rail has spent GBP1.3million on domestic flights for staff in the past two years because flying is frequently cheaper than taking the train.
The company, which is responsible for maintaining Britain's train network, claims its staff always take the cheapest method of transport, but this means on average, staff take 12 domestic flights every day.
The cheapest train ticket from London to Glasgow is about GBP80, while Irish budget carrier Ryanair is advertising GBP40 flights to Glasgow from Gatwick or Stansted.
