Inflation +3%

"The cap on regulated rail fares will rise to RPI +3% for the three years from 2012, but that will help this country afford new rolling stock as well and improve passenger conditions."

George Osborne
Chancellor of the Exchequer
Comprehensive Spending Review - 20 October 2010

So what do we think? 

After many years of seeing the price of commuting into London rise in real terms are we happy at the prospect of paying even more in the future? 

Are we content to hear that the rail operating companies will be levying an increase that is unlikely to be exceeded by any salary increase that we receive?

Do we think we will get value for money?

Season ticket price 2010 = £3,316
Season ticket price 2015 = £4,780?
