Show Notes
Rail fares in England will rise by nearly 6 per cent in March, the Department for Transport (DfT) have said.
The DfT has set a cap of 5.9% for increases to fares regulated by the government, such as season tickets on most commuter journeys, some off-peak return tickets on long distance journeys and flexible tickets for travel around major cities.
So, in this episode I explore whether this rise in fares is... fair.
