Getting people back into their cars.

The latest round of above inflation fares, the policy of refurbishing some HST's to squeeze people into them like sardines and taking away catering services, illustrates to me a dangerous shift by some TOC's towards trying to drive people off the railways as the way to alleviate over-crowding. First...

I find an earlier reply, that for many, abolishing "Saver Returns" will only mean small increases, " and (for) rest it may mean maybe a pound increase" to be complacent. Let's just look at two random examples of travelling today "27th Dec," without a saver return. As no alternative will be introduce...

SAVER RETURNS ABOLISHED

Radio 4 ( You and Yours ) has just given a six minute report that walk on "Saver Returns" are likely to be abolished as of Jan 1st 2007. The Dept. for Transport is strongly considering removing the legal requirement for TOC's to provide discounted walk on fares... ie. The Saver Returns. These were g...

Yes.... sorry for delay in being able to test several of your theories.... YEs...
