Train travel to cost more from March as rail fares to rise by almost 5 per cent
manchestereveningnews.co.ukRail fares in England are set to significantly increase in price next month. From March 3, regulated fares will rise by 4.9 per cent, according to the Department for Transport.
Increased prices will be seen on season tickets on most commuter journeys, some off-peak return tickets on long-distance routes, as well as flexible tickets for travel around major cities.
Unregulated tickets, which won't be directly affected by the rise, include first class, anytime tickets, advance tickets, and off-peak day tickets.
These ticket prices are instead set by train companies themselves and will change depending on their own decision, instead of the government's. READ MORE: All the things going up in price from April 1 including council tax, mobile phone bills and TV licences Try MEN Premium now for FREE...
