£120 from Euston to Lime Street sitting on the floor bank holiday weekend. HS2 can't come soon enough.

Given that a walk up fare on a bank holiday is £89.60 return I struggle to see where you get £120 from. If you're happy to take a slow train it's £35 return.

Bank holidays are always very busy, you'd think that if prices were really so high people wouldn't travel. The extra 10,000 seats an hour that HS2 provides will certainly help though.

Pray tell, what is this route for £35 off-peak, walk-up?

Euston to Liverpool on LM. Trains are direct at xx:49, or change at Crewe

No break of journey on the outbound but allowed on return.
