** It's time to fix fares for good
------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Supporter

Expensive fares are putting people off taking the train. A survey we just commissioned found that 71% of people would travel more by train if fares were cheaper.

You probably aren't surprised by that result - I wasn't. Rail is a brilliant, sustainable way to travel but expensive fares have been a big problem for a long time.

Another thing that won't surprise you: rail fares are due to rise again next month. Meanwhile, fuel duty for car drivers remains frozen, as it has been for the past 14 years. This - alongside the terrible decision to back a third runway at Heathrow - suggests the Government isn't taking the need to tackle climate change anywhere near seriously enough.

But something is different this year. Because this year, the way the railways are run is going to change significantly.

As our new report, Fix fares for good ([link removed]) , explains, the upcoming rail reforms can clear the way for fares to be made affordable, clear and fair. And this is vital. While 66% of Brits support nationalisation in principle, this falls to only 6% if rail fares were to continue to increase.


** Ask your MP to help fix fares for good
------------------------------------------------------------

Fix fares for good calls on the Government to fully review rail fares with a view to making them simpler and more affordable. For instance, it should cap long-distance fares, and give walk-up passengers a better deal. Until the review is complete, rail fares should be frozen.

If you agree, please email your MP using our quick form.

High fares are harming our pockets and our planet. Let's make sure the Government doesn't miss this unique chance to fix fares for good.
