A spokesman for the Rail Delivery Group, which speaks on behalf of the rail industry, said: "The TSSA is trying to take rail passengers for a ride.
"If its figures bore any resemblance to what most people actually pay, the railway would not be carrying double the number of passengers it was in the mid-1990s.
“By offering a range of fares to suit all pockets, running thousands more services and getting hundreds of thousands more people to their destinations on time every day, the rail industry has generated growth that far outstrips that of European countries with state-run railways. This is helping to fund further improvements to services.”
