Title: Highest fare increase challenge. Post by: SDS on December 07, 2010, 00:39:50 Heres a challenge for you all!
Find the highest ticket price increase. The Catches.... Can only be on FGW land (i.e. where FGW normally serves, so excludes diversions). Can only be a walkup ticket. Can be either a Single or Return (not a season or those exec package thingies). My guess: SHIREHAMPTON 3206 - LONDON TERMINALS 1072 (with thanks to BNM) NFM 7: SDS S 28.20 NFM 8: SDS S 30.80 increase of 9.22% (rounded). Title: Re: Highest fare increase challenge. Post by: JayMac on December 07, 2010, 01:03:28 I make that 9.22% rounded. 30.80-28.20/28.20x100 :P

Title: Re: Highest fare increase challenge. Post by: grahame on December 07, 2010, 03:47:21 Swindon to Salisbury is up from 50 pounds anytime single to 53 pounds (anytime single, cheapest ticket on the direct 06:15 train). Percentagewise, that's 6% ... in pence per mile it's a stunning extra 7p per mile.
Any examples of fare rises of over 7p / mile? This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
