This is not really "Hate British Rail Week." After all, who can really dislike ancient. institutions? Nevertheless, I'm bound to point out that the BR passenger fares are about to rise again The new 1978 commuter fares almost form a pattern. Edinburgh to Glasgow, Blackpool to Manchester and Brighton to London are all about 50-mile trips. Annual seasons for these journeys from January next will cost approximately £1 0, El 1 and 212 per mile per annum per passenger.
For the same length of trip by coach the fare wOuld be £6 per mile per annum. The annual rail season will vary from £500 to £600 pa; for 500 miles a week the coach cost would be £300.
