Train Price Rises

I don't see why nothing is done about this - it's beyond ridiculous now, well over £3,000 just to get to work on a train that has seen no improvements over the last 7 years and is overcrowded and poorly maintained.

Greater Anglia are an absolute disgrace.

No one asked you to commute to work on the train, you're technically part of this overcrowding issue.

You can't have your cake and eat it, either you hate commuting, move or get a new job, or deal with it. Because the train company has you bent over the barrel either way, why should they make changes, you're not going to stop paying regardless are you?
 
If you're buying annual tickets surely it doesn't really matter too much when you buy it, unless you aren't planning on renewing it next year - in which case it'd make sense to get it sooner rather than later.
 
To be fair to the OP (if they aren't just trolling) I'm guessing that their question was around understanding whether the price of an annual ticket bought in December is based on:

1) The current price at the date of purchase; or

2) 1 month at the current price + 11 months at the price that will apply from January.
 
I'm sure some trains used to have more than three carriages. Every one I've caught recently has been seriously overcrowded, not because there are more people than there used to be, but because there's now two carriages where there used to be eight.

That coupled with the rapid increase in pricing makes me very angry whenever I have to catch a train.
