Pleased but cautious - Shake-up of railways welcomed

THE chairman of a south Cumbria group representing train-users has welcomed plans for a shake-up of Britain’s railways – but is remaining ‘very cautious’ until there is tangible change. Transport secretary Grant Shapps announced yesterday that the network would be brought under the control of Great British Railways (GBR), a new public body that will run and plan the network and collect most fare revenue. The Government has also pledged to ‘simplify’ fares and ticketing and better integrate the system with other transport services. Derek Faulds, chairman of the Furness Line Action Group (FLAG), said FLAG was pleased with the announcement.

Barrow passenger caught completely naked at Lancaster except for trainers condemned

THE behaviour of a passenger who was caught completely naked on a train - except for a pair of trainers - has been branded unacceptable . A man was slapped with a fine after British Transport Police caught the passenger on a train at Lancaster without any clothes on apart from his trainers. The 35-year-old man from Barrow was caught naked in September last year, and British Transport Police said alcohol was a factor. He was convicted of a public order offence and handed an £80 fine, £119 costs and surcharge. A spokesman for British Transport Police said: In September last year officers dealt with a 35-year old man from Barrow, who was completely naked (except for a pair of trainers), on a train at Lancaster.

Get used to fare rises says Furness Line Action Group member

Rail fare rises across the UK yesterday are just ‘one of those things’ says a member of a railway action group. Fares in England and Wales have increased by 2.6 per cent – the first time the government has chosen to put up prices above RPI inflation since 2013. Changes to rail fares, which usually take place on January 1, were delayed to allow commuters to buy season tickets at the cheaper 2020 prices. The Government said that the increase to the regulated fares ensures that taxpayers are not unfairly overburdened by anticipated investments of around £10 billion to keep vital services running during the pandemic.
