Campaign against Rail fare price increases
That this petition notes the crippling fare rises in 2012 for long suffering commuters and further notes that:
• Rail fares in Britain are approximately 30% higher than their equivalents in Europe
• In some areas of the country, people spend a fifth of their salary on commuting to work
• Inflation busting rises are in contrast to current wage stagnation
• Train companies continue to operate with poor performance
The Government should:
• Limit fare rises until wages start increasing and restrict future rises so they are in line with inflation
• Be prepared to tax rail operating companies who make large profits on the back of high increases and poor performance
