A commuter was hit with an "insane" £800 fare hike after his daily train to work was cancelled.
Daniel Wilson, 39, usually takes the busy service from Stoke-on-Trent to Manchester using his £2,800 season ticket for Avanti West Coast trains.
The university technician was told that his usual 7.45am train was cancelled due to staff shortages, reports Stoke on Trent Live.
