2025 UK rail fares increase by 4.6%, above inflation, marking the second time in 12 years.

The UK government announced a 4.6% increase in regulated rail fares in England for 2025, effective March 2, marking a rise above inflation for the second time in 12 years. Most railcards will also increase by £5. Critics argue this move could burden low-income commuters, urging the government to focus on attracting new passengers instead of raising costs for current users. The changes aim to support transport reforms and enhance efficiency and performance.
