Updated on 11 November 2009

Rail staff are to travel to a conference by coach because trains are too expensive, it has been revealed.

A Network Rail (NR) senior executive decided on coach travel after it was found that taking 200 of the company's staff from Reading in Berkshire to Coventry by rail could cost as much £27,000.

Instead, the staff will travel at a cost of £12 a head by coach, with overall spending being £2,400.
