RAIL passengers across Hampshire will face above-inflation fare rises in the new year, it was announced today.
Regulated fares, comprising season tickets and saver fares, will be rising 4.3 per cent on average from January 2.
Unregulated fares, which represent about 60 per cent of total fares, will be going up by an average of 4.7 per cent.
The current regulated fare regime allows for annual increases of one per cent on top of the retail price index figure in July of each year, which this year was 3.3 per cent.
