AND
RAIL FARES WILL BE RAISED
Restrictions on Cheap Tickets:
THE L.P.T.B. and the main line railway companies recently revealed their plans for higher fares on London's rail, bus, tram, trolley-bus and coach services.
On the Board's road services the standard of a 1d. a mile for ordinary fares will be maintained and no general revision of fare stages is contemplated.
Certain exceptionally low ordinary fares will be increased. The other changes are:
"All-the-way" single fare of 5d. applying on certain routes will be increased to 6d, and the corresponding workmen's to 78.
Ordinary returns, where less than double the single fare. will be generally withdrawn, except the 8d. "all-the-way" return, which is to be increased to 9d.
The 1d. cheap midday fare will be withdrawn.
The 2. theap midday fare will be restricted to Journeys for which the ordinary single fare does not exceed 4d; for longer Journeys it is to be increased to 3d.
Some changes will be made in "ail- day" and scholors fares.
Coach Services: There will be little change in the single fares, which may conform generally to the id. a mile standard. Returns, now on a basis of approximately single fare and one- half, are to be slightly increased. Couch season ticket rates on certain
