Caroline has written to the Government calling for Brighton to be included in a planned trial of changes to rail season tickets.   The plans could include the introduction of flexible season tickets to benefit those who work part-time.

In a letter to Transport Minister Norman Baker, Caroline has proposed that London to Brighton should be considered as the pilot line.

Caroline said: “Fares are too high generally, but the current system is utterly unfair on anyone who commutes less than five days a week.  Many of these are part-time workers, often with childcare commitments, based in Brighton and travelling to London.  It’s good that the Government has recognised that the system needs to adapt to the realities of modern working life, and I really hope Brighton can be part of the pilot.”
