The Campaign for Better Transport is fighting to bring down rail fares (currently the highest in Europe). Take a look at its Fares Campaign and watch the silly-but-with-a-message video, right. It's shocking and illogical that when people try to 'do the right thing' and travel by train instead of car or plane, they are punished with sky-high fares.

 

They're not just bleating on about lowering fares (tricky in tough economic times), they actually have a plan. They're asking the Government to tax fuel used on domestic flights to make up for any money lost to lower train fares. They're basically just asking for a fair fight on fares. And not just train fares: they've also launched a competition to find the most ridiculously high bus fare. Enter here.
