Rising train fares are ‘not bad value for money’, the rail minister has said, after a 2.7% average increase in ticket prices – £100 annual rise for some commuters – introduced earlier this month.

The National Rail Passenger Survey of almost 28,000 users found only 46% think tickets are ‘value for money’.

Bruce Williamson of advocacy group Railfuture said many tickets were ‘outrageously expensive’ and Mike Hewitson from watchdog Transport Focus added:

The whole system is complex and can feel pretty unfair

If you are a commuter, we’d like to hear what you think. Please get in touch with us if you think rail fares are good value for money or if you want us to campaign for a reduction.

Many thanks,

Dan
