Welsh Government Action on Rail Price Increases Not Good Enough says Leader of Welsh Lib Dems

Responding to a Welsh Government announcement that rail prices in Wales could rise by as much as 5.9% next month Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader Jane Dodds MS said:

“This simply isn’t good enough from the Welsh Government. Last week they announced a halt to road building in order to tackle climate change, but people won’t be able to make the transition from cars if they are being priced out of public transport by extortionate rail prices.

“The Welsh Government needs to think again about what it can do to keep prices lower, especially now that Transport for Wales is fully nationalised the buck stops with them.

“The Welsh Liberal Democrats will continue to call for free public transport for all under-25s in order to boost public transport usage and increase social mobility.”
