Labour calls for rail nationalisation after more fare rises

2018-01-02 3

Labour’s shadow transport secretary has called for the rail network to be renationalised and fares to be capped. Andy McDonald described the annual fare rises as “ridiculous” and the reason for a decline in rail use. The increases came into effect after the Rail Delivery Group's announcement last month that fares would rise by an average of 3.4%. Report by Blairm.
