Labour to save rail commuters £1,000 a year
LABOUR in government will save commuters over £1,000 every year in the “biggest-ever rail fares cut” in history.
Under radical plans announced by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn today, the party would drop train ticket prices by 33 per cent from January 2020 as part of its moves towards making a fully integrated public railway system.
Labour would also guarantee an option of discounted rail fares for part-time workers and make rail travel free for everyone under 16.
