- Train ticketing changes caused by the expansion of contactless payments have seen prices soar on some services in mid-December.
- Off-Peak travel restrictions have narrowed, potentially pricing passengers out of rail altogether, according to a lobby group.
- A family could be charged up to twice as much for a journey using contactless compared to paper tickets with discounts.
