It added that the £5 rise in the cost of railcards - which provide discounts for different groups of people - would be subject to an industry review.

Be interested to know why this is - Chancellor states that she would entertain a request for an increase if operators were to ask for it. Why would they when there's nothing in it for them? But I reckon it's a dead cert frankly.
