The discounts available for travel on most railcards are set to be trimmed on 15 September, according to reports. The effective rises in fares will be small, because the present discounts of 34 per cent are said to be coming down to 33.4 per cent, which is just over the ‘third off’ which is normally advertised. The result would be that a fare of ?100 would be reduced to ?66.60 instead of ?66 exactly.
