I think rail fares tend to go up by well-above-inflation amounts regardless of whether we're in a "boomed" or "doomed" scenario.

Holidays or business.

Anyway I like going on high speed trains - you don't have to hang around due to a long check-in as BAA want to try and sell you stuff.

Why does everything go up by inflation+x%. Which makes me wonder what exactly is the inflation measure used.

Was watching the news the other night and lo and behold, they're now talking about CrossRail being high speed and extending it out to Birmingham.

One rule for them...

Doomed: Rail Fares Up...

By RPI (the real rate of inflation, odd that...) + 1%.

Or for the really lucky ones, RPI + 2%.

Ho hum.
