Rail season tickets 'may go up 11%'

Hard-hit rail commuters are braced for more misery when Tuesday's inflation figures are likely to reveal that some season tickets will go up nearly 11% next year.

The July retail prices index (RPI), which is used to determine the following January's annual rise for regulated rail fares including season and saver tickets, is expected to come in at 2.8% when Office for National Statistics are released.
