U.K.: "In the age of restraint and austerity, rail fares jump 6%"

read more.......from the scotsman.......


"RAIL firms have come under fire after announcing “inflation-busting” fare increases of 6 per cent across Scotland in the new year.

It means that the cost of a return ticket between Glasgow and Edinburgh will top £20 for the first time.
Passengers groups say the hike is out of kilter with people’s pay and they “deserve better”, while the SNP Government faced claims that it is “out of touch” with ordinary travellers."
