Rail fares have gone up - with one of the largest increases in years.

Rail fares increased by an average of 6.2% from last Sunday but some season tickets on busy routes will go up far more.

As Dan Milmo writes:

The £5,000 season ticket is a growing phenomenon, with Southeastern charging £5,192 for journeys from Hastings and Tonbridge to London that connect to its high-speed service – a 12.7% rise on last year.

In addition, the AA has said that an increase in fuel duty of 0.76p a litre, allied with a 2.5% VAT rise days later, will add around 3.5p per litre to the price of fuel. That equates to an extra £1.75 on the cost of filling a tank.

However, the rail user watchdog believes that the vast majority of commuters will not take to the roads as an alternative. Anthony Smith, chief executive of Passenger Focus, says cars were not a valid alternative to train for commuters: "In London and the south-east people don't have any choice."

Passenger Focus have looked at exactly how much passengers will be hit on popular routes - and they've shared the data with us.

They point out that this is only a selection of routes, but the impact looks enormous:
• Canterbury to London season ticket up by £488 - 12.7%
• Bournemouth to London: up to £5,424 (+6.8%)
• Peterborough to London season ticket up to £6,232 (+5.8%)
• Bristol to Edinburgh off-peak return up to £143.50 (+9%)
• London to Glasgow off-peak return up to £114.70 (+6%)
