South West Trains Rail Fares (EDM1461)

South West Trains Rail Fares

EDM number 1461 in 2006-07, proposed by David Laws on 15/05/2007.

That this House condemns the decision of South West Trains to increase off-peak fares by around 20 per cent. from 20th May; believes that South West Trains has failed to provide an adequate business case for fare increases of this size; notes that high rail fares can only undermine the incentives to use environmentally sustainable public transport; and calls on the Government to review the regulation of rail fares so as to prevent excessive increases of this kind.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
