New names for rail fares will be introduced across the National Rail network in 2008. Customer feedback suggested that it isn't always easy to find the best value ticket to match your needs because of the range of different fares available. Although London Midland has one of the simplest sets of fares available we are happy that these new fare names will make your choice easier allowing you to choose your rail ticket with confidence.
