OK
... most rises in January
... rovers and some specials in May
... announcement for next January in August
... stealth rises due to allocation reductions of advance fares at any time

... I know there's a September rise 'window' too - but what changes are actually going to happen?

No announcement usually....other than January - and the RPI (Revenue Protection Inspector, or Retail Price Index, depending on context)% for that is announced tomorrow.

All other tickets not included in January's rise can go up either in May or September - or even both.
Should be in the fares systems 12 weeks before - so should already be loaded.

Indeed - but I've not seen any listing of summary of what's happened / changed. And it's a huge task to work through and check.  With your connections, do you have a list / summary of what RailEasy are hinting at, ChrisB?

I've not seen anything either.....usually don't in May & September as it's generally tidying up anomalies and car park prices....

I do not know about other train companies, but I am aware that fares controlled by London Midland usually rise in September.

I see that London Midland fares will rise on Sunday 6th September 2015.  For example, an Off Peak Day Return from Worcester to Birmingham rises from ^8.70 to ^8.90.
