Rail hell as fares up 3.6%

COMMUTERS were hit with three separate disruptions as it was announced London rail season tickets would rise by 3.6%.

A train derailed at Waterloo and another hit buffers at King’s Cross while a fume-filled Holborn station was evacuated.

Passenger Natasha Coello said of the King’s Cross incident: “We just all went flying. People went from one end of the carriage to the other.”

British Transport Police and Network Rail are investigating the incidents.

So rail fares just keep on going up, it is just never ending and it is not as if the services are getting any better. People deserve more value for their money. It’s a rip-off. MICK Preston Rail fares up 3.6% yet again it’s the people hammered by fat cat bosses, time the people ran this country, not greedy millionaires. THE PLEB If train fares get any higher some people just won’t be able to afford to go to work anymore, the govt should step in and stop this rip off. People pay thousands to get squashed like sardines at peak time. Ahh, govt dont care. ronnie, N london Some rail firms consulting whether to axe fast services to and from the town i live in and to add insult to injuries prices are on the march again. It’s robbery, simple as that. Clive, Beds No trains from the north to London Euston over the bank holiday weekend – that’s OK then. They are too busy working out rail price increases to care. Geoff, Wigan I am glad to see that the ludicrous Garden Bridge Scheme has been scrapped. In these cash-strapped times if our Government wants to splash our cash I suggest that it should be spent up here in the North instead of vanity projects in the already prosperous London area. SHAKEYMAN Garden Bridge idea was a good one on the face of it, but not in this current cash climate where key services are facing the axe.
