Southeastern savaged by dead sheep

This from today's Gruaniad:

The rail passenger watchdog has criticised Britain's first high-speed commuter service after it emerged that fares will cost up to a third more than on conventional routes.

Passenger Focus... expressed concerns over the fare increases.

"We would hope Southeastern would consider offering incentives and discounts to make the service more affordable," said Tunde Olatunji, Passenger Focus manager for Kent.

Presumably a terrified Charles Horton has cleared his diary and is busy recasting the fares manual this very morning.
