    Does that make you eligible for Premium fares?

    I express no opinion on whether or not this will perhaps back-fire with customers, but this is the same group of people who decided to turn a loan of £300K to the Trust into an operating profit for the PLC. Compared to that, selling thing A for £X at one point, and for £Y at another point (something that a large share of large companies seem to do nowadays - heck, there are even businesses now that look for those variances for people, like Trivago and KAYAK) is 'in the noise'.

    If I've read it correctly, it's worse than that -it's a £500,000 grant from the trust to the PLC, plus there's an extra £100,000 added to a previous £300,000 loan from a member.

    The £300K loan I noticed was to the Trust; that presumably provided a large part of the £500K grant from the Trust to the PLC. (Your post can be read to indicate that the £300K loan was to the PLC; it wasn't.) In other words, the loan and grant didn't sum; the former seems to have turned into the latter.
