MIKE HEDGES AM JOINS CRITICISM OF TRAIN FARE INCREASE
Speaking on the day that Train passengers across England and
Wales faced 3.1% fare increase, Swansea East AM Mike Hedges said…. ‘Following
all the problems faced by passengers in 2018, it is difficult to see any
justification for these increases. I am aware that constituents have faced a
number of occasions in the autumn when they had services replaced by busses due
to the non-availability of train sets on local services through stations such
as Llansamlet. In light of this sort of scenario, how the train companies can justify
these increases is beyond me. I look forward to the election of a Labour
Government in Westminster which will oversee the return of the Railways to
Public Ownership at the earliest opportunity.’
Note
Train fares increased by 3.1% on 2nd January, the
highest annual increase since 2013.
