The Ticket Collector

Off Peak Fare Regulation?? Yes or No?

April 16, 2007 on 6:35 pm | In DfT, Fares, Franchise, South West Trains |

With South West Trains recent annoucment that they are adding a new off peak because too many people are using their service, would you want the Government to regulate all fares?

At the moment the Government regulates Savers and Cheap Day Returns and these cannot be increased more then around rpi+1 without the Governments consent. All other tickets can be increased any amount and in the case of SWT they have decided to add a third peak and increased fares 20%.

I have found a petition on 10 Downing Streets website at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/regulatefares/ Please sign it, if you think the fare increases are getting too much.
