A number of lines have gone up way in excess of this. The rail companies have been limited to a c6% fare increase on average - obviously this means that they can push some lines up massively, and keep others the same and still hit the 'on average' part. I don't know what the average is done accross (increase fare per mile of track? fare per route? fare per unit time travelled) but I understand that they've bumped their most populous routes up a lot this year. The 'on average' was abolished by the last govt and bought back in by this shower we've currently got.
Trains in this country are a disgrace.
