How can these increases be justified, especially considering that the fares are far too high now, taking into account the state our rail service is in, dirty unpunctual trains, cancelled trains, crowded trains etc.

That's ok Gromit, but I couldn't put up with asking for a return ticket to---------
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
Ask for it? I couldn't even pronounce it, and can you imagine how long the ticket would be?
