Train passengers in Gedling borough will experience smaller train fare rises from January than other parts of the country, the local operator has revealed.

East Midlands Trains told Gedling Eye this week that the average increase across all of its fares will be 2.7%, – which is below the RPI rate.
This means a return ticket for a train from Carlton to Leicester will now cost £13.40 following the rise, compared to the £13.00 currently,

Regulated fares, including season tickets, are set by the Government in line with July’s Retail Price Index (RPI) of 3.2%.

The firm said that customers are still continuing to benefit from the UK’s most punctual long-distance train services.
