With regards to Katy Balls' article about the failure of her
26-30 railcard I believe her outrage is misdirected. I simply do not see, as a 31 year old who
struggles to pay for train fares, why this age group should be singled
out. We do not need wholesale
nationalisation. But we do need our
train companies to be as fiercely regulated to get the best value for
customers, as the air travel market is by the EU. The government has irresponsibly allowed the
same companies to monpolise our railways and buses without any consequences for
failure. It simply does not make any
sense that it is cheaper for me to fly to the continent than it is to take a
modest train journey.
