Beat the sneaky rail fare hikes

Filed under: Travel

Rail companies don't have a lot of fans. Cancelled services, delayed trains, poxy excuses, and those damn announcements. 'We apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused' My train is two hours late, how on earth could there be any question over whether it has been an inconvenience?

Yesterday they announced something that seemed like good news. Fares will rise just 1.1% this year, the lowest rise since privitisation. So are they turning a corner? Is there a brave new world where train tickets are reasonably priced and services are seemless.

Well, what do you think?
