ALT Quote from Michael Solomon Williams from Campaign for Better Transport: “Passengers want clear and consistent guidelines when it comes to fares. Whilst we welcome moves to reduce fare evasion on the railways, it must not be at the expense of fare paying passengers whose plans change at the last minute. At a time when we want to be encouraging more people to travel by train, it’s vital that any changes to the fares system don’t have a negative impact on public perception of the railways.”
