The couple say they were even left unable to visit their son, who lives more than 200 miles away in London, out of fear that they would be left stranded without fuel if petrol stations refused to serve them.
I had a look, and Blackburn does have a train station, and I seem to remember London having one or two, what prevented them from taking the train?
I take it you’ve never actually been to the UK, or even read about their public transport situation; trains tend to be expensive in the UK. I get it though, it’s fun to dunk on an imagined adversary.
Quite the opposite. Trains in the UK are crazy expensive, especially if you plan on going anywhere near London and didn’t have the foresight to buy the ticket 12 weeks ago.
This confused me:

Tell me you have no idea how much intercity train travel costs in the UK without saying it

Anyone who chooses to drive into London without needing to haul something, is a moron. It’s the worst transit option in nearly all cases.
