Take Action Today!

Today’s the Day to Have Your Say!
This January our train fares have increased by an average of 5.9% and are now the most expensive in Europe. No matter where you live around the country, there are three simple ways to get involved in today’s #FAREFAIL protests via Twitter, text and phone.
Tell George Osborne just how much your fare went up this year and why you are so angry:
- Tweet @hmtreasury #farefail #railfail
Tweet #farefail
- or text FAREFAIL and your message to 88802
(texts will cost your standard rate) - or call the Treasury switchboard 020 7270 5000
Please take the time TODAY to spread the word about #FAREFAIL so we can deluge the Treasury and let them know exactly what we ALL think about their unfair fare increases!
