Fares protest at Waverley

CAMPAIGNERS protesting over the price of rail fares were today gathering at Waverley Station. The FareFail coalition said the Valentine’s Day protest would put pressure on government ministers.

A day of action – called “Love Trains, Hate High Fares” – will see campaigners gather at major stations across the UK.

Peter Robinson, secretary of the Alliance for Jobs and Climate, said: “Thousands of commuters have told us that fares are too high – but the government refuses to listen.”
