Buses are vitally important in villages, towns & suburbs. As we say in this article, the Transport Committee's recent report has some excellent recommendations, including things we called for. We hope the Government heeds it and helps rural buses to thrive. busandcoachbuyer.com/rural-bus-rena…

Expensive, complicated and unfair fares are not just burdening passengers; they are putting people off travelling by train. Ask your MP to fix fares for good: bettertransport.org.uk/campaigns/fix-…

July’s RPI figure will be announced on Wednesday. If predictions are correct, we could see an inflation-linked fare rise of 5.5% next year. We spoke to the The Independent to explain why the Gov't should be protecting passengers from excessive fare rises: ow.ly/yhbb50WHpPC

Physical inactivity is estimated to cost the UK £7.4 billion annually (including £0.9 billion to the NHS alone). Active travel is one of the best return on investment decisions governments can make. Yet people are still having to campaign for better infrastructure and funding.

Fenchurch Street opened in 1841, the oldest rail terminus in the city of London replacing the earlier Minories station. In ep 3 of our railway200 series we explore how the expansion of the rail network in 1854 created and served the local communities along the route.#Railway200

Here's our response to the news that RPI hit 4.8% last month, the figure the Government usually uses to set the following year's annual rail fare rise. This year the fare rise was RPI+1%...could a 5.8% fare rise be on the cards for 2026?

Today's RPI figure could mean a rail fare rise of 4.8% next year! With huge reforms to the railways taking place, nationalisation can clear the way for fares to be made more affordable, clear & fair. Ask your MP to support affordable rail fares: ow.ly/xmQc50WIJH9
