Proposed Rail Fare Increases For Zone 6 London Suburban Trains
EDM number 2869 in 2005-06, proposed by Edward Davey on 26/10/2006.
That this House notes that the proposed rail fare increases planned for January 2007 to zone 6 London Suburban Trains include rises of between 33 per cent. and 36 per cent; further notes that a peak return to Waterloo from stations such as Kingston and Surbiton will increase from the current £6.80 to a massive £9.20; believes this will hit hard commuters on low and modest incomes, especially those working part-time, for whom options such as travelcards do not make financial sense; and calls on the Secretary of State for Transport and the Mayor of London to review these rises immediately.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
