Rail fare hike: A hit on commuters
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the news that rail fares in England will rise by up to 4.9% in March, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:
“This is yet another hit on commuters pockets who have put up with so much chaos and disruption on our railways this past year.
"People are paying more for less on our rail network. Nowadays it is a miracle if the trains are actually running, let alone on time.
“We need real action to tackle the cost of living crisis. The Government must immediately announce a rail fare freeze.“
