Campaign for Better Transport says ‘fair fares’ are needed with walk-up single fare from London to Edinburgh likely to pass £200
Transport campaigners have urged the government to cap walk-up rail fares after research showed almost half of British travellers avoid travelling by train because of the cost.
The Campaign for Better Transport (CBT) said 44% of respondents said that train travel was too expensive – exceeding the number who said they found driving more convenient.
