UKIP Transport spokesman Jill Seymour
today welcomed the end of inflation-busting rail fare rises.But she questioned why the price of travelling by train should be increasing at all in the new year – with the cost of many tickets having already risen by 25 per cent since 2010.
Her comments came as it was confirmed that regulated rail fares are to be kept in line with the cost of living from January, with any changes now tied to the Retail Price Index (RPI) level of inflation.
