Proceeding contribution from Chris Mole (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Rail Fares and Franchises.


Rail Fares and Franchises

No, I was drawing attention to the Government who were in power at the time, as fares were allowed to rise by considerably more than they have done under this Government. I want to draw the attention of the hon. Member for Lewes to the cost of a train journey from Lewes to Newhaven Town, which was £3.80 in 1995, but £3.90 this year, having increased by 10p in 15 years, which I suspect his constituents would regard as stonkingly good value.
