Hopefully this means people will stop (wrongly) blaming TOCs for fare increases now Shapps has placed on record that GBR will be responsible for setting fares. I won't hold my breath though!

Some fares will go up , some will go down to balance demand .

Think a lot of people see the likes of the Anytime Return (SOR) from Liverpool and Manchester and see telephone number pricing , these are the fares that rarely ever get retailed , most people travel on some form of discounted ticket and railcards.

I do expect in the next year or two to see the price of the railcard to go up from £30.00 , it is now at a price where a Off peak return to London from Liverpool and Manchester will gain the saving back in one go , i suggest the railcard will still be good value at £40.00
