Regulated rail fares in England, including season tickets and off-peak returns, will not increase next year, the government has announced. This marks the first time in 30 years that these fares will be frozen.
- This freeze aims to ease the financial burden on commuters and regular travellers amid rising living costs.
- It affects millions of passengers who rely on regulated fares for daily travel across England.
The government’s decision to halt fare increases reflects efforts to support public transport users during economic challenges. Details on how this will impact rail operators or funding have not been specified.
