Accordingly the article quotes the Department for Transport where “the system should reduce most single fares, which can be almost the same price as a return under traditional fare practices”
In what fucking world
Loads of singles are often only about a quid cheaper than returns.

But most of the ‘I’d ditch the car if it was cheaper’ waiver’s would be looking at a return fare surely?
If the logic of ‘return is double a single’ - and that’s my Big Assumption as the reports are ambiguous (I know! Imagine the Gutterment putting out mixed messages, like ‘Safety’ when they meant ‘Service’ for anti strike laws! The very idea!) - is my return would be £15.60 with is a c. 30% fare increase (math is not my strong point) -
Loads of singles are often only about a quid cheaper than returns.
Standard practice for doing a long one-way journey was to buy a return for £1 more and then sell it for cash (usually half the single fare) upon arrival to someone wanting to go the other way.
I did most of my travel to/from Uni like that.

Me again, popping up like the turd that won’t flush, but the governance of the railways… in this part of the world… christ on a stick
Latest ‘news’ from yet another revolving tosser-minister you wouldn’t put in charge of heating a pan of baked beans reads;
“Currently (mis-spelt, imo with three more letters than needed), Harper said, railways “have a broken model, unable to adapt to customer needs, and financially unsustainable”.
He added: “Left untreated, we will drive passengers away with poor performance, which leads to fewer services, which will drive more passengers away and so on and so on. Only major reform can break that cycle of decline.”
The actual fuck, his dysfunctional organisation created the rail shitshow
I pay £7.80 for a single between stations
A return is £11.80
Accordingly the article quotes the Department for Transport where “the system should reduce most single fares, which can be almost the same price as a return under traditional fare practices”
In what fucking world?
