rail fare extortion

Just seen the new regulated rail fares have just been announced allowing fares to go up by average of 4.1%.

The increase is set at 1% above inflation and on my view privatising the railways has bern one of the biggest government inflicted disaters ever.

How fragmented it is now is crazy how can it be allowed that one company owns bit of tack another the signals etc.

Government says itd allowing increases to reduce taxpayers money and passing cost to train users but as most users will be taxpayers its a con and double whammy.

Whoever puts in manifesto it would return to state ownership would get my vote. Do not get me wrong it was run badly when nationalised but now its all about the shareholders and folk pay more for still overcrowded trains and delays etc so it cannot be any worse under nationalisation as i hope lessons will have bern learnt.

You say "Government says it's allowing increases to reduce taxpayers money and passing cost to train users but as most users will be taxpayers its a con and double whammy."

I don't see it as a double whammy it's reducing the cost to taxpayers why should the taxpayers who don't happen to use the rail network subsidise those who do. I do agree that fares are absolutely ridiculous ....the fact that its quicker and cheaper to fly to Scotland than it is to go by train how can that be possible?? But I don't think I should be subsidising rail fares and putting money into the pockets of private companies and their shareholders when I choose to travel by other means because its cheaper and more convenient.

I wouldn't mind if the rail network was fit for purpose.

As we all know, that is rarely the case. They can take their fare hike and jump into the pits of Mordor with it.
