Train fares will rise ahead of inflation for another year, the government has announced.
The 3.5 per cent rise will come into force next January. It will mean an extra £6.11 on a monthly season ticket from Surbiton or Chessington South to London Waterloo. But some companies could use a "flex" rule to raise prices by an extra 2 per cent.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin defended the rise. This year ministers capped fare rises to keep them level with inflation. No such plan has yet been announced for the 2015 rise.
