The Ticket Collector

Fares ‘revision’ 18th May.

May 8, 2008 on 11:04 pm | In Chiltern, East Midlands Trains, FCC, FGW, First Hull Trains, GatwickX, GrandCentral, HeathrowX, London Overground, NXEA, NXEC, Notwork Rail, ScotRail, South West Trains, Southeastern, Southern, c2c |

On the 18th May the new revised fares will be coming into effect on the National Network. Some companies have withdrawn some tickets and replaced them with more expensive tickets.

In January 2008 the overall allowable average increase for regulated fares Peak day and Season Tickets was 4.8%, with variations by flow and ticket type up to a maximum 9.8% increase.

Some Train Companies did not use the full yearly increase and therefore will be increasing the tickets to the yearly maximum this time around.

National Express East Coast (NXEC) will be increasing their already expensive tickets some more in May. We have also received reports (from an unnamed travel centre clerk) that they will charge everyone without an advance ticket a seat reservation charge of £1 for each seat reserved. Is this to stop the season ticket holders reserving seats, or is it to pay for for a new seat reservation printer so they can finally put out reservations 07:20 at Peterborough and late night services out of Kings Cross?
