Rail Fare Protest at Oakham Train Station
As we know our rail fares are over-priced. Average train fares have increased almost three times faster than wages, with prices now 26% higher than they were before the recession.
All this is bad enough. But there is clearly a need to get people off the roads and out of the air if we are going to combat climate change. On January 2nd there were protests outside a number of railways stations and these caught the national headlines. The FareFail campaign www.farefail.org is repeating these protests on Valentine's Day at Oakham Train Station.
So please come down to Oakham station on Thursday the 14th, between 7.30am and 9.00am.
