Quote
With fares rising to extortionate levels, it seems the Government is blind to the fact that rail services are vital to all sorts of people, not just the rich.

We need to open their eyes.

Tell us why affordable rail services are vital to you, whether it's for getting to work, visiting family, going to the shops or accessing services such as your doctor's surgery.

We'll use your answers to lobby Government for lower fares. (We may contact you to check the details.)
