An opinion piece arguing UK rail fares must rise to avoid higher taxpayer costs
The Times has published an opinion piece arguing that UK rail fares should rise, warning that holding them down would otherwise push costs onto taxpayers. The argument is presented as commentary rather than new figures or government policy, and reported so far only by The Times. It is not yet known whether ministers, rail operators or other outlets will respond to the claim.
