Rail Fare Increases (Hansard, 16 February 1999)

HL Deb 16 February 1999 vol 597 c73WA 73WA

§ Lord Milverton
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they consider that the recent fare increases announced by some rail companies are justified by performance. [HL904]

§ Lord Whitty
On average, rail fares have fallen in real terms over the past two years. Despite this, many unregulated off-peak fares continue to increase. In some cases, the increases are clearly not justified by performance.
