PLANS to reduce railcard discounts “shouldn’t have left the station,” campaigners and unions said today.
Train operators are to take advantage of an easing of system limitations to cut the fare reductions from 34 per cent to 22.4 per cent from September 15.
Discounts for people aged 16-30 or 60 and over, families travelling with children, people with a disability and military veterans will all be affected.
