Select Committee on Transport Minutes of Evidence


Memorandum submitted by the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers

The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the House of Commons Transport Committee inquiry: How Fair are Fares? Train Fares and Ticketing.

  RMT organises 72,000 workers in all sectors of the transport industry and negotiates, on behalf of our members, with some 150 employers. With over 44,000 members employed on the railway we are the largest of the rail unions.

INTRODUCTION

  RMT opposition to privatisation and liberalisation on the UK rail network is well documented. Our view remains that the sell-off of British Rail has been a disaster for the railways. Public subsides have spiralled whilst train operator performance in terms of punctuality lags behind that achieved when rail was in public hands. Infrastructure unit costs have more than doubled in real terms as private contractors have pocketed millions of pounds of public money. The upgrade of the West Coast mainline is perhaps the best example of poor private sector planning and execution post-privatisation.

  RMT remains concerned that elements of the three EU Rail Packages not yet implemented into UK law will further increase liberalisation and marketisation leading to waste and spiralling costs caused by on the one hand fragmentation and on the other unnecessary duplication.

  It is in this context that the travelling public is currently faced with an overly complex ticketing regime in which rising fares and the lack of clear and consistent information predominates. An example of the problems passengers encounter was highlighted by the Observer on 8 May 2005.

  In an attempt to access cheaper advance purchase tickets the newspaper selected three routes; London to Newquay on First Great Western, Manchester to Bristol on Virgin and London to Leeds on GNER. They found that a month in advance weekend-trip cheaper APEX tickets were unavailable on all three routes. In addition on the London-Leeds and London-Newquay routes super advance and advance fares were also unavailable.

  The Observer also found significant discrepancies between ticket prices quoted by the train operators' own web-sites, their call-centres and by the Virgin owned thetrainonline.com website. Prices quoted by the GNER call centre were £13.50 cheaper than those advertised on the GNER web-site. Using thetrainonline website reporters were quoted prices for the same journey which were different to the tune of £46.50. Finally, the Observer found that the Virgin Trains value fare search facility threw up a figure which was £40 more expensive than that quoted by Virgin phone operators or by thetrainonline.com.

  Put simply this situation should not be allowed to continue. Ticketing information and fare structures should be made easier to access and to understand. Now that the Department for Transport has taken over responsibility for directing rail policy RMT believes that it should conduct a feasibility study to look at compensating passengers who buy tickets at prices in excess of cheaper tickets that were still available at the time they made their purchase.

RAIL FARES AND THE COST OF OTHER MODES

  The SRA's National Rail Trends 2004-05 indicates that the average real terms increase in ticket prices since 1995 is 6.3% with standard unregulated fares showing an average increase of 10.9%.

  RMT, and our predecessor union the NUR, have long maintained that rail travel in Britain is too expensive. In 2002 the RMT response to the SRA consultation on Future Fares Policy said "It is our view that fares are already too high and railway services are in danger of becoming the preserve of the middle classes".

  Additionally our submission to your committee's inquiry into the Future of Railway argued that "the 19  June announcement by the Secretary of State to introduce a pricing policy that will lead from January 2004 to above inflation fare increases on currently protected ticket prices and the phasing out of saver tickets by 2006 could discourage network use. This in turn would threaten the wide-ranging social and environmental objectives set out by the Government in the 10-Year Plan".

  The rise in rail fares (and indeed other forms of public transport) is in marked contrast to the declining cost of motoring. A February 2005 parliamentary answer from the then Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Transport Charlotte Atkins confirmed that using 100 as the base rate motoring rail and bus costs had changed since 1975 as follows:
YearAll motoring* Rail faresBus fares
1975100.0100.0 100.0
1980  99.5124.2 121.1
1985  95.3130.4 122.9
1990  87.1139.3 128.8
1995  93.0163.1 147.8
2000  96.8166.3 154.8
2004  89.1170.2 166.0

*  All motoring includes the cost of purchase, maintenance, fuel tax and insurance.

  The figures provided by the Minister indicate that since 1975 the overall cost of motoring has fallen by 11% whilst during the same period rail fares have risen by 70%.

KYOTO AND MODAL SHIFT

  The UK Government has set itself challenging targets to reduce carbon emissions which go beyond the Kyoto Protocol commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 12.5%, below the base 1990 levels, by 2010. In order to achieve these targets and then go on to achieve the 60% cut in emissions by 2050 an expanded role for all forms of public transport, and rail in particular, will be key. If the Government brings forward road-user charging as the primary way of encouraging modal it is self-evident that a reasonably priced, accessible and easily understood ticketing policy, along with capacity enhancements and improved rail performance will be required. RMT is completely opposed to the suggestion made by the Association of Train Operating Companies to introduce "rail peak pricing".

  We are also extremely concerned by the comments in the SRAs January 2005 Integrated Kent Franchise Stakeholder Briefing Document that bidders for the IKF have been asked to assume that the cost of tickets between Ebbsfleet and St Pancras on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link Domestic Services will be 35% higher than a ticket from Gravesend to London. The bidders have also been invited to assume that premium rate fares will also operate on the St Pancras via Ashford and Birchington on Sea and stations to the west to St Pancras routes.

RAIL AGAINST PRIVATISATION RESEARCH

  In the run up to the May 2005 General Election RMT launched the Rail Against Privatisation (RAP) campaign. During the course of RAP we produced extensive research which indicates that UK fares are up to three times higher than those in the publicly owned rail networks in mainland Europe. The full research findings are attached at the end of our submission at Appendix A to F.

  However some brief examples help to illustrate our position.

    —    A standard single ticket between London Kings Cross and Newcastle-upon-Tyne costs 131 Euros. Comparable journeys in terms of distance in Belgium and France cost less than 50 Euros.

    —    Similar differentials are found in relation to season tickets and city regional fares. In Netherlands and Germany, commuters can buy an annual go-anywhere ticket for £1,382.68 and £2,046.90 respectively. RMT is appalled that the cost of season tickets into London from Milton Keynes (£3,284), Huntingdon (£3,432), or Brighton (£2,952) are more expensive than tickets in Germany and the Netherlands which can be used across the whole of the national network.

    —    In relation to travel cards an annual Zone 1-6 in London ticket costs £1,580. This enables the passenger to travel a radius of approximately 15 miles. However in Paris a "Carte Integrale" which enables a passenger to travel approximately 20 miles costs £946. In addition approximately 40 mile radius ticket cost £818 and £507 in Berlin and Madrid respectively.

    —    The research revealed that per mile an annual season ticket costs the passenger £56 from Hatfield, £61 from Potters Bar, £29.50 from Brighton and £35 from Gravesend.

CATALYST

  In 2004 RMT, with our sister rail unions ASLEF and TSSA, commissioned the labour movement think-tank Catalyst to produce original research material in order to investigate the financial structure and performance of the railway industry post-privatisation. Thus far Catalyst has produced three high-quality, well received reports. The third of their documents published in September 2005: The performance of the privatised train operators includes a chapter on train operators' revenues.

  The report concludes that receipts from the fare box have increased from 2.94 billion to £4.39 billion in 2003; an increase of around 50%. In 2003 the train operators received £1.2 in public subsidy and used fares income and public subsidies to pay shareholder dividends of £160 million. It is therefore self-evident that the ToCs remain dependent on massive state hand-outs and expensive fares in order to make a profit.

CONCLUSION

  RMT's support for a publicly owned and publicly accountable rail network has as one of its pillars an integrated, accessible and readily understood ticketing and fare structure. The current complex and expensive fares regime is failing the travelling public.

  The September 2005 Catalyst report makes clear that without public support the train operators would have made a loss of £1.1 billion in 2003. RMT is appalled that the ToCs are using public money from both the taxpayer and the fare payer, to increase their margins. Post-privatisation billions of pounds have haemorrhaged out of the industry. In return the travelling public is faced with a service which does not match that of BR in terms of train punctuality and fares which, as the research produced by the RMT in April 2005 demonstrates, which are inordinately expensive.

  Notwithstanding the fact that fares generally are far too high, purchasing the correct ticket at the best price has become a lottery. Such practices would not be tolerated in any other industry, and it should be stopped.

Base fares (Normalpreis)
In contrast to the former kilometer-based fares, the new fares were designed as relation-specific prices, similar to airfares.
This means that they do not necessarily depend on the distance travelled but rather on the importance of the relation and the traveller's demand for it.
