Train passengers to be hit with extortionate price hikes on tickets in 2021. (PA Wire) Train passengers will be hit with a price hike in 2021, the Department for Transport (DfT) has announced. Ticket prices will increase by an average of 2.6% from March 1 next year, which is July’s Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation plus 1%, seeing an above inflation fares rise for the first time in eight years. Successive governments have linked fare rises to RPI since January 2014, but the DfT said this policy has been axed due to the “unprecedented taxpayer support” handed to the rail industry over the past 12 months.
