June 05, 2008 - 04:37 PM Christopher Thomas Beware simplification of train tickets scam - In the 6 months Since Arriva Cross Country have taken over, Fares went up in january 2008 and Burton on Trent (east midlands trains run the station) car park charges have gone up to £4.50. But worst of all on top of this you can no longer use Cheap day returns before 09:30 (was 09:00) and between 15:30 and 18:15 (there used to be no restriction). This applies is any journey where cross country set the fare such as derby - Nottingham, Burton - Nottingham etc. This means for example we have to buy the peak ticket at £11.90 instead of £7.80 if I if I want to have a day in Birmingham and not wait untill 18:30 to return. This is a massive fare increase!. IP : 10.126.228.105 |
