The Department for Transport will allow train operators to raise fares by inflation (RPI) plus 3%. This could lead to fare rises of 6.2%.
Northern Rail and Metro will now work together to agree how the rise will be distributed across the fare structure.
BRUG will be contacting both organisations to campaign for a minimum increase following several years of doubled-up fare rises: RPI +3% + WY premium [BBC] which lead to a 10% fare rise last year.
The next meeting of BRUG is listed here.
