These sagely words from the Saviour of the Jammy Dodger spoken in the House on the 28th October:
Theresa Villiers (Minister of State (Rail and Aviation), Transport; Chipping Barnet, Conservative)
I am well aware of the concerns of users of the Southeastern franchise who have been asked to pay RPI plus three over the past few years. That was linked to investment in rolling stock, and the rest of the country will move on to RPI plus three to even out the perceived inequality from the year after next.
So now you know - the fares increase is to "even out perceived inequality".
Presumably Cruella is also determined to use these inflation busting fares increases to remove a further inequality by ensuring that the rest of the nation also benefits from "investment in rolling stock"?
Don't hold your breath.
With contributions such as this Eye now understands why the 'War On Toner' announcement was left to Theresa May...
