Of course, but we could expect that many people from Europe would
attend a conference in Europe, especially if there weren't things like
deadlines before sanely-priced rail tickets are on sale.

Sadly, the difference between open tickets (which can be bought now)
and advance purchase tickets (which aren't on sale yet) is not a few
dollars. For example, a London-Edinburgh Standard-class Open Return is
GBP 232. Advance purchase tickets for that could cost GBP 25,
according to seat61. It will probably cost something between the two.
(And Christian Perrier's question: the cheapest(+slowest!) tickets
from London to/from Heathrow and from Edinburgh airport to/from
Edinburgh come to 13 quid and there's also 20 quid in Air Passenger
Duty... more expensive already, even without the flights!)
Hope that explains,
