Description

Ronan Carroll interviews Jimmy Knapp, NUR, who has accused British Rail of misleading the public following reports that some season ticket fares may go up by twenty-five percent in 1990. Such a rise would be on top of the twenty-one percent rise in 1989 and is likely to particularly affect the long-distance commuter.
