I work on the Fair Fares Now campaign, which calls for cheaper, simpler and fairer rail ticketing.<\/p>\n

As part of the campaign, I’m working with a national newspaper to highlight the huge burden extortionate rail fares have on working mums (and dads).<\/p>\n

I’m looking for mums willing to share their stories on how the cost of the daily commute factored in their decision to return, or not to return to work.<\/p>\n

Is the cost of commuting a barrier to returning to work?<\/p>\n

Is your weekly train fare more than your childcare costs?<\/p>\n

Do you work part time and would like to see a season ticket that accounts for part time working?<\/p>\n

Are you having to economise elsewhere to meet the costs of travelling to work?<\/p>\n

If you are affected by rising rail fares and would like to share your story with a journalist, I would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n
