For people residing in the UK, using the train is the only most effective means of transport to work. Unfortunately in recent years the UK government who have failed to tackle powerful unions have allowed train operators and network rail to ramp the prices up for commuters up and down the country.

In the last 5 years one could see the purchasing of a return ticket from Wellingborough to Sheffield for just over £20 > In today’s prices this has sky rocketed to almost £35. £15 doesn’t sound like a great deal if you only have to make this trip once every blue moon, but when it comes to people who purchase season tickets or monthly tickets, this already high cost is now even higher.

Therefore people are now sticking to driving on the roads which has meant major motorways and other important roads are seeing the effective of an influx of unneeded traffic.
