Train fares to rise – Train fares to fall

Politics, transport issues

Two separate organisations put out two different press releases this morning.

They appeared one after the other in my RSS reader – and it was the coincidental juxtaposition of the two headlines that raised a wry smile.

I am not going to argue which is correct, and I am sure that in their own way, both are correct.
