Because the sun says so? Austerity for the poor, whilst the richest 1000 in the country have seen their wealth rise by 14% in the last year..

Robin-H Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 You forgot mention we have the highest fairs in Europe even America is cheaper. Also some rail companies want to get rid of Guards who ensure passenger safety so they can make more money who cares if an accident happens and no one to help? I mentioned fares generally - indeed I mentioned that 'on the day' ticket prices have increased markedly since privatisation. I do not believe however that that is because of privatisation. As I mentioned, advance rail fares have decreased significantly since privatisation, and season tickets (although more expensive than in Europe) have increased roughly in line with inflation. If you believe that the drive for profit has led fares to increase, why then have advance ticket prices dropped, and season ticket prices only increased with inflation? Why not just increase prices across the board? It seems likely to me that the increase in 'on the day' ticket prices is due to the success of the railways. Numbers of passengers have increased dramatically since privatisation (from about 750 million to 1.7 billion) and so it seems likely that 'on the day' prices have increased in response to that. Regarding getting rid of guards, - both The Rail Safety and Standards Board and the Office of Rail and Road have concluded that driver only trains are safe. There might be an argument about the reduction in guards meaning that they cannot assist in other tasks, but that is less about safety and more about general support. https://fullfact.org/economy/are-driver-only-trains-safe/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
