Updated on 01 January 2008

A rail users' group is planning a ticket boycott in protest at fare increases of more than twice the rate of inflation on many lines.

Some passengers have suffered increased ticket prices of up to 11%, while regulated fares, which include most season tickets, have gone up by an average of 4.8%.

Some users of First Great Western trains - one of the most overcrowded and least punctual services in the country - are to stage a revolt at the fare hike in the face of poor performance.
