Default Rail fares to rise by 3.1% in January


Another success for privatisation.

"Alex Hayman of consumer group Which? said these price rises would only
add to passengers' misery after a year of timetable chaos, with rail
punctuality falling to its lowest level in 12 years.

"Value for money needs to be a key part of the upcoming government
review and passengers must receive automatic compensation for delays and
cancellations," he said.

Unions also took aim at the price hikes, with RMT general secretary Mick
Cash calling them "another kick in the teeth for passengers on Britain's
rip-off privatised railways".

It meant UK passengers will pay the highest fares in Europe. "That is
nothing short of a disgrace," he added."
