Rail passengers face a ticket price "nightmare" as the steepest increases in almost a decade hit from today.
According to industry body the Rail Delivery Group, people in England and Wales are set to shoulder the largest hike in rail ticket prices since January 2013 with fares predicted to go up by 3.8%.
Labour has called the price hike "brutal" and campaign group Railfuture has accused Boris Johnson's Government of “stoking the fire of the cost of living crisis” by enabling the increase.
