How do rail commuters feel about increased prices?
As rail fares increase by up to 5.9%, what are the thoughts of those who commute by train and will they still continue to choose to travel by rail?Rail Minister, Huw Merriman, says: "I understand it has been a difficult year and people are feeling the pinch which is why - through the biggest ever government intervention - we capped the rise well below inflation and delayed it coming into force.
The 31-year-old researcher says: "I will still travel by train, as it means I can run to/from the station, be outside, get fresh air, all while helping do my bit for the environment via reducing another car on the road. "At a time when the service frequencies are being reduced, rather than increased - stations like Leagrave and Flitwick will lose 50% of their service at times in the evening from May, it is disappointing that fares are to increase.
