New "Simple fares" for rail travel = fare increases for YP holders
I have discovered that anyone in posession of a Young Persons Railcard (and, I believe, a Forces Railcard) is going to be at a disadvantage on many routes by having to pay up to around 50% more for fares departing before 10am on weekdays.
