Opinion: This is how we can make ticketing simple and transparent

The government has placed great emphasis on ‘sorting out the railways’ as a way of showing things can change. And the focus has been on ‘bringing track and train together’ through taking the franchises back in-house.

So far so good. But, as I have pointed out in this column since July’s General Election, that is the start of a process rather than the end. We are supposed to get excited by the creation of Great British Railways, but what will it deliver? A new name and an old logo is what we have so far.
