They do the same thing, year on year, to Train customers. Right down to the fact that the largest train leasing companies (IIRC it is now actually quite difficult for companies to own their own rolling stock) are owned by banks.
Still, so far this year, the government have stuck to the inflation + 2% rule which assuming they follow through on their promises and stick to it will mean train fares go down next year.

This has all rather crept up out of nowhere, I'm not entirely sure how the PM has managed to sneak this increase in - I can't recall seeing it publicised anywhere, did I miss it first time around? |
Classic misdirection. While the public was busy reading about Jade Goody's death, they leaked it..
Ironically, Max Clifford has said that in the past he was actually employed by the government to leak the Antonia De Sanchez/David Mellor affair while they were busy doing something else they did not want the press to notice.
