Why are these all unattainable?
Its not as if they are asking £1000 per hour, and also this country is not exactly large so travelling is not an issue, if its someone you really want then go for, life is to short to just look at the present, unwrap it as well.
If it was sill money and the other side of the world I could understand, but really to far...
Train services are decent (someone may contradict this, I have not been on public transport for years)
Go for it
