Date: 10/02/2021

Rail campaigners are calling for a new type of rail ticket for people who spend only part of their working time in the workplace. Neil Middleton, a director of Railfuture who is leading the campaign, said: ^There^s often an enormous gap between the price per journey for someone travelling five days a week with a season ticket and someone who travels two or three days a week “ our proposal aims to bridge this gap.^
