Train fares for some tickets and networks across the UK are to rise by 7% next year!! Will trains be 7% more punctual, will there be 7% more seats for commuter trains. Will trains run 7% more frequently? I somehow doubt it!
How will a 7% rise encourage more people onto the trains easing traffic congestion? Particularly when services appear to be as shoddy and unreliable as ever. Especially galling for the non regular train user such as myself (weekend trips to London being about the extent of my train use), is the huge subsidy from the Government>Taxpayer>Me of approximately 50% of the total train running costs.
In defence of these rises, the spokesman said that the West Coast main line is now completed and Hastings train station has been revamped. Great!! Great news then if you live in Hastings and wish to travel up to Glasgow!! What about all the other poor commuters suffering from greater stress that Fighter Pilots and Police, in and around London who have to put up with seatless travel into and out of London twice each weekday to earn their crust?
