England's Regulated Rail Fares to Rise by 4.9% in March 2024

The increase, lower than last year's, comes amid ongoing disruptions due to rail worker strikes and criticism from Labour.

Regulated rail fares in England will increase by up to 4.9% from March 2024, according to the Department for Transport.
The fare increase is capped below inflation and is lower than last year's rise of 5.9%.
The rise comes after passengers have faced disruptions due to strikes by rail workers over the past 18 months.
The increase could add £190 to an annual season ticket from Woking to London, taking the cost from £3,880 to £4,070.
Labour has criticized the rise as 'another brutal bumper rise in rail fares' and called for a reform of the railway system.
