Dig deep if you hit the rails!

If you travel by train - bad news.

It looks like ticket prices are going to go up again in the new year.

It's all a bit complicated but basically train companies base their annual increases for fares on something called the retail price index for July, and then add 1%.

So based on next month's RPI, it means we could see see a 5.5% rise in ticket prices in January 2009.
