Regulated train fares in England are to increase by 4.6% next year, while the price of most railcards will rise by £5, the government has announced.
The increases were not mentioned by the chancellor in her Budget speech to the House of Commons earlier on Wednesday, but it was instead noted in the Treasury's budget document.
The changes will come into force on 2 March 2025.
Elsewhere in the Budget, Chancellor Rachel Reeves set out tax increases worth £40bn in a bid to repair public finances and promised billions of extra spending on schools and the NHS.
We need train fares to be cheaper, not even more expensive! Trains are already expensive enough.
Some train journeys across the UK are most expensive than driving, which is just ridiculous.
