SubscribeTravelcard at risk The big issue for London in the coming months is the Travelcard. It is already being eaten away at the edges by the refusal of InterCity operators to honour it. The Rail Regulator failed to recognise the popularity of the the Travelcard bonus to season ticket holders. But InterCity train operators get no benefit from Travelcard revenue so season ticket holders end up paying twice! The branch is however hopeful of kicking out the plan for a Travelcard surcharge on the planned Docklands Lewisham extension.
Election The Travelcard issue will form part of our survey to prospective parliamentary candidates later this year. We will be concentrating on the marginals but hope to cover the whole region.

Rail users are encouraged to join Railfuture to help us campaign for a bigger and better railway - membership for individuals is just £20 per year
Railfuture is an independent, voluntary group representing rail users in Britain with 20,000 affiliated and individual members. It is not funded by train companies, political parties or trade unions, and all members have an equal say.
Railfuture campaigns for cheap and convenient rail services for everyone; better links for buses, bikes and pedestrians; policies to get more heavy lorries on to rail; new lines, stations and freight terminals. In short, a better rail service and a bigger rail system for both passengers and freight.
Railfuture is pro-rail but not anti-road or anti-air. However, we campaign for a switch from road and air to rail. We do not interfere in the running of the railway - we campaign for the quality and range of services provided, not how they are delivered. We are the only champion of all rail users.
