Jim McMahon – 2020 Comments on Rail Fares

The comments made by Jim McMahon, the Shadow Transport Secretary, on 14 November 2020.

An inflation-busting rise in rail fares would be completely wrong. It would make travel more unaffordable at a time when it is vital to secure the future of the network.

The Government’s incompetent approach means British taxpayers are paying the profit of rail companies owned by foreign governments. Instead, we should bring the network in house, providing better value for the taxpayer and passengers.
