Content: From January 1, train firms can increase their ‘regulated’ fares, including rush-hour commuter tickets and off-peak fares, by three percentage points more than the retail price index inflation figure of 3.2 per cent for last July. The train companies also have the flexibility to add another 5 per cent to respond to changes in demand for particular services – meaning some fares could rise by as much as 11.2 per cent. Rail fares have risen by more than inflation every year for the past decade. 5.8 for women
In London, fares for the bus and Tube are set to rise by an average of 4.2% from January 2, and even cycling commuters who make use of Boris Bikes could feel the pinch. A yearly membership for the capital's cycle hire scheme is set to double, from £45 to £90. In a speech to working parents in London today, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg emphasised the importance of flexible working hours and announced that from 2015, the UK will shift to an entirely new system of flexible parental leave. 'Under the new rules, a mother will be able to trigger flexible leave at any point, if and when she feels ready,' he said. 'That means that whatever time is left to run on her original year can be taken by her partner instead.' The Lib Dem leader also confirmed a new legal right for men to take unpaid leave in order to attend two antenatal appointments. 'Lots of fathers will tell you that these moments are when it can start to feel real for them,' the Deputy Prime Minister said.
