Rail commuters face an average £300 hike in the cost of annual travel in and out of London despite a Government pledge to cap next year’s fare increases, passenger groups warned on Wednesday.
The average cost of a season ticket, based on 40 popular commuter towns to the capital, would increase from £5,052 to £5,350 if March’s 5.9 per cent rise was replicated next year, the Campaign for Better Transport said.
