Government 'in passenger profit'

Rail fares are rising so fast that by 2018 the Government will be making "a profit from passengers", according to a report commissioned by the Campaign for Better Transport (CBT).

By 2018, fares revenue will cover 103% of the operating costs of the railways, up from 80% in 2009, said the report by consultants Credo.
