Commutes from London to Richmond constituency by private helicopter would have taken about 2hr 15 by train
Rishi Sunak has taken private helicopter trips to his constituency in North Yorkshire costing thousands of pounds since he became prime minister, the Guardian understands.
Sunak is understood to have used private helicopters from London on dates in November and December, costing about £16,000. The trips were privately funded. Northallerton, a town near to Sunak’s constituency home, is on the mainline from London Kings Cross. There are usually more than 30 trains a day and the 200-mile journey takes about two hours and 15 minutes. Booked a day in advance, a single journey would cost about £87.
