But airline is not same as train.
Many cases people are forced to use trains e.g. commuting to London. Here people have no choice. All such commuting routes are monopoly by train operating companies.
With airlines if it is a holiday you can either fly on a different date or use alternate airlines. If flying for a business trip, claim on expenses.
Most countries calculate fare as = distance * unit cost basis, because of that fare does not drastically change how early you buy ticket. But UK it is what they can squeeze out of passengers.
This is why on the day ticket prices are horrendous (they don't change that much based on links I provided in earlier posts in this thread).
