Has that increase just happened?

After a bit of research, I believe that the increase was back in 2009. I had referred to the older Railfuture report. Thanks for the correction.

Ah OK, thanks. Until I just checked, I too thought it was still £10.

Or there could be a 'loyalty card' for the railways for which you rack up points for every journey made during the year (perhaps you acquire more points for travelling at off-peak hours or on underused services). You could then trade these points for journeys at a future date. Of course, this venture would require a bit of imagination, and for the government and the rail companies to work together, which will probably rule it out.

How about calling it British Rail?;)
