Go-Ahead in rail fares boost

Fare increases on the Southern, Southeastern and London Midland train routes have helped the transport giant Go-Ahead enjoy "resilient" trading in 2013.

The company took 12 per cent more in fares on London Midland, 9 per cent more on Southeastern and 4 per cent more on Southern between January and April. Passsenger journeys did not rise by as much.
