Rail fares: Who are the season ticket winners and losers?

In January 2017 we reported on the areas of England worst hit by season ticket rises. The figures were based on a Campaign for Better Transport (CBT) list of the most commonly used commuter services in six major cities. Our analysis of the figures was based on full-time workers using an annual season ticket five days a week, except on bank holidays or on 25 days of annual leave.

This was the unit's second story on fare rises following our previous story on the announcement of season ticket rises in September.
