Let's show Government that a rail fare rise would be harmful

Hello

The Government hasn't yet decided whether to increase rail fares in January.

Can you help us to show them that increasing fares would be a terrible idea?

During the pandemic, the number of rail passengers fell to its lowest level in 170 years. When we had essential journeys to make, most of us got in our cars. Now there's a risk that these habits will stick. The dangers are real: climate change, pollution and traffic-clogged streets; dwindling public transport leaving non-drivers stranded.

We're at a crossroads: if we want a green transport future, it's vital that the Government freezes rail fares for 2022 to encourage people back onto the railways.

Where would you like to go by rail in 2022?

The railways need to raise more money. Some in Government think that increasing fares is the way to do this. But we know that a fare rise would discourage many people from travelling by rail, while a fare freeze would mean more passengers and potentially more income.  

To show this, we're gathering quotes from people who want to travel by rail in 2022, but who would be affected by a fare rise.

Please fill in our very short form, telling where you would like to travel by rail in 2022 unless fares get too expensive. Perhaps you'd like to take a trip to the seaside, visit friends or family, go to a festival or attend a course.

Tell us where you'd like to go

We might send your quote to the Government, or use it on our website or social media, to show why a fares freeze is so needed.

Thank you very much - we're looking forward to reading about where you'd like to go!
