Are people aware that it now costs more than £2 more to travel from Elstree & Borehamwood train station to London than it costs to get a bus to Edgware and travel from there.
Now that the cap for a cheap day return is now £11.20 this is a significant difference and I do feel that the increase of the cheap day return of nearly £3 got through without enough complaints. Families on lower incomes will suffer as usual.
It was done to subsidise part-time workers’ travel, but the millions in profit from privatised transport providers, if brought back into the public sector, would probably cover this.
