A CUMBRIA campaigner has criticised a rail fares increase as a “money-go-round” for the private rail operators. Union official Craig Johnson, the RMT’s Carlisle-based regional organiser, made in the comments after it was announced that fares in England and Wales were to rise by 2.6 per cent this month. The price rise comes despite calls for freezes to help attract passengers back to the railways after the end of the coronavirus crisis. It’s the first above-inflation increase for seven years. Mr Johnson said: “We are opposed to the rail fair increase because we already have a massive public subsidy that goes to private firms, and this is coupled with a massive fall in passenger numbers because of the pandemic. It’s just unacceptable to expect any return to the railways.
