Train fares in Britain will go up by an average of 2.3% from 2 January, the rail industry has announced. The increase covers both regulated fares, which includes season tickets, and unregulated fares, such as off-peak leisure tickets. The rise in regulated fares had already been capped at July's Retail Prices Index inflation rate of 1.9%. Unregulated fares face no cap. Campaigners said passengers would be disappointed by the increase. 'Passengers will now want to see the industry's investment deliver a more reliable day-to-day railway,' said Anthony Smith, chief executive of the watchdog Transport Focus.
