Fare anolomies are not unique to "our" area ...

The Gibb report has given us a wealth of material about the failures of 'system resilience' on the Southern Rail network – and over the next few weeks, ABC will be following many of these up in depth. However, we wanted to start with an exclusive tip-off that will benefit commuters right here, right now.
