Grayling must freeze fares

Responding to Chris Grayling's address to Tory party conference, Liberal Democrat Transport Spokesperson Baroness Jenny Randerson said "It's no wonder that Chris Grayling became nervous as he outlined the state of our railways, many of the problems with the network are his fault and his time in post is running out of track."

Baroness Randerson added "Grayling promises a rail revolution and new legislation next year to improve our struggling railways. But he's happy for passengers to face massive fare hikes whilst he gets his house in order. The Liberal Democrats are calling for an immediate freeze on all fares, while the Government investigates the problems they've caused with our railways."
