Rail fare increase – Transport Focus response

01 March 2021

Commenting on the rail fare increase, which took effect today, Transport Focus chief executive Anthony Smith said:

“Today’s fare increase makes it even more important that, when travel restrictions start to be lifted, the industry is able to attract people back by offering fares that match how we know people hope to live, work and travel in future. This could mean new flexible season tickets which offer better value for part-time commuters, and other tickets based on how people want to use the railway.”
