“The price of rail travel is getting ridiculous. Prices are continually on the increase - don't they understand that they are WAY overcharging people. They should make them a fair rate which benefits everyone and encourages people to travel by train more often - if the fares continue to increase, more people will be encouraged to travel by car”

“We are well on the way to having the most expensive rail fares in the world. The latest increases continue to link fare rises to RPI while almost everyone has either had their wages frozen or increases are linked to the much lower CPI. Few MPs show any interest because (of course) we have to pay for their rail travel (and many other 'expenses') as well as our own.”

“OUTRAGEOUS, they are already way to expensive. Its cheaper to drive, sod the environment. If they won't lower the prices or make them realistic then no one will travel by train.”

“The economy and administration of cities like London would fall apart without the railway system which is the only realistic way for most people to commute there. I am not in favour of handing out subsidies willy-nilly, but a level of subsidy commensurate with the economic benefit which the railway indirectly brings to such cities would surely allow the implementation of a more reasonable fare structure.”
