Rail fare rises March 2024

According to the news rail fares will rise by “up to 4.9%”. My monthly season ticket with London Northwestern Railway will rise from £636.30 to £677.50. I calculate that at more than a 6% increase. Who do I complain to? Any ideas? How is this allowed if the fare increases are capped at 4.9%?

Wrong board, have flagged for mods to move.

Only "regulated" fares have the capped increase. Season tickets are usually regulated, but not first class. Which stations is your ticket between?

Travel between Rugby and Euston

And it’s standard class. They actually don’t offer first class anymore.

I can see a season ticket for Rugby->Euston, at £677.80, here. I don't think this is a regulated fare (I don't believe it is as it's a TOC-Specific season with a routing restriction, but others may disagree), so the rise might be acceptable.

The fare that is definitely regulated is £978.50 from the 1st April routed via Avanti, and has increased within the cap
