It has been announced today that there is a possibility of further hikes in rail fares coming at the start of 2011. Cornwall will be the worst hit, as Transport Secretary Philip Hammond intimated that the 'inflation plus one percent' formula may be used for ticket prices in the coming few months.
It has not gone unnoticed that people in Cornwall have some of the longest and most expensive train journies in the UK, and fares rising even further will again put people who live here on the back-foot - as some of the most underpaid and poor people in the country.
