London commuters to be hit with Tube and rail fare hikes
London commuters about to see a massive Tube and rail fare rise
- London's Tube and Transport for London (TfL) rail fares are set to increase from March, with single Tube fares capped at a 20p rise.
- Peak pay-as-you-go fares for Zone 1 journeys will rise from £2.90 to £3.10, and a Piccadilly line trip from Zone 1 to Heathrow will increase by 10p.
- Mayor Sadiq Khan announced that bus and tram fares will be frozen until July 2026, marking the seventh time he has implemented such a freeze.
- The fare increases are in response to a government expectation for TfL fares to rise by inflation plus 1 per cent, despite the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
- Separately, hundreds of bus workers employed by London Transit in west London are planning strikes in December over a pay dispute.
