Not sure if it's been brought up, but Britain Runs on Rail are looking at changing the UK▸ (United Kingdom) rail fare structure.

Some interesting ideas, including rail fare caps for season ticket passengers, and bringing it even higher prices for peak services and lowering further off peak services Huh  I found it on the LNER» (London North Eastern Railway - about) website, Not many TOC▸ (Train Operating Company)'s seem to making the public aware of it.

Here's the link for those who want to have a say.

It has (been brought up).  There's some posts at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=19894.0 and I'll quote you in full there and then lock the topic on this board so that all the discussions can be kept together.

I'll leave this post here to act as a flag to point to the other topic though - as it's worth having it findable in both "Fares Fair" and in "The Wider Picture".
