Commuters face a 2.7 percent increase in rail fares from January despite continued chaos 🤦
The increase will affect 45 per cent of fares that are regulated — but other tickets could soar by more because they are decided by train companies.
Regulated fares include most annual season tickets, some off-peak return tickets on long- distance trips and flexible Anytime tickets around big cities.It means a season ticket from Brighton to London, now £4,844, will cost £4,974.The Rail Delivery Group, which announced the increase last night, defended the move. It insisted price rises will be invested back into the railways.
“After a year of patchy performance, passengers just want a consistent day-to-day service they can rely on and a better chance of getting a seat. “As fares rise, passengers must make their voice heard and call on operators to deliver a better service.” Train passenger with £6k-a-year season ticket is fined for putting ONE FOOT in first class on packed Greater Anglia train
