Yesterday gave news that Train Fares have been raised at least 4.2% throughout the UK. This was found out by commuters when they bought their season tickets and found that they can be paying up to £5000 a year to travel to work and back, it is now cheaper to travel by bus. Many have been annoyed at this, especially as it is the 10th year in a row that Train Fares have risen.
Why am I talking about this you may ask? You don’t travel on trains, you may state but I’m thinking in the future when A) I may be travelling to London from the South East Coast to go to university next year or B) When I work at Parliament (Yes I said When) I will be doing the same. In fact, this worries me, just a tad even going from Sheinfield to London Liverpool Street (2 stops away) will cost over £4000.
Enough with the statistics you say, the issue I want to know about is where is the money going? According to commuters, service is not improving, which is what we hoped to happen, but the government say don’t complain, we’re cheapest in Europe! Fun.
‘Feeling so fly like a train’
Lol, we are NOT the cheapest in Europe - they have no idea what they're talking about. ^_^
