Having expressed my concerns, I will be going ahead and submitting a response.    Stating my personal background of learning and - I hope - adding a flag that they are thought through rather more deeply than most. But not claiming to be representing the full view of any organisation.   And it is worth submitting to at least indicate an appreciation that at least some views have been sought, and that I want to contribute.   It has also been very helpful to me personally to be thinking about these things as the wider picture moves forward.

Your name and email address are important to help ensure that all responses to the consultation are unique. They will not be used for any other purpose.

"The Rail Delivery Group is issuing the findings from its consultation on ticketing reforms on Monday. We just want a quick chat with a passenger who feels they have been disadvantaged by ticketing rules ..."

Good Ole press reporter ... hunting around for the exceptionally negative examples ...
