Rail fare hike looms with potential 5.5% increase sparking outrage among passengers
Transport can be expensive whether that's air fare, petrol money or train travel. With the latter, passengers in the UK are being warning that ticket prices could rise by as much at 5.5% in the next round of price hikes. The July Retail Prices Index (RPI) figure, which is frequently used to calculate the annual rise in rail travel costs, will be revealed on Wednesday, August 20, and that could mean higher fares for passengers in England. Meanwhile, Transport for Wales are offering £1 rail fares for a short period of time, you can read more here. Transport organisations have been left furious by the potential rise in next year's railway fares, which they have condemned as "outrageous". Just last year the Department for Transport confirmed costs would rise by 4.6%, but it looks like they may rise again. RPI is an inflation measure - released monthly - which is utilised to gauge the change in the price of retail goods and services. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here. It wasn't employed in 2022 or 2023, but it was in 2024, when the Department for Transport confirmed costs would rise by 4.6% - one percentage point above last July's RPI figure. These alterations to fares took effect on March 2 this year. The Government has yet to announce how it will calculate next year's railway fare increase, although banking firm Investec has predicted this year's July RPI figure at 4.5%, meaning costs could leap by 5.5% in March 2026. Bruce Williamson, of campaign group Railfuture, raged there was "no justification" for the massive increase. He said: "What would be the justification for jacking up fares above inflation? There isn't any." He continued: "It's ripping off the customer, driving people off the trains and on to our congested road network, which is in no one's interest. "One would hope that there would be some efficiency savings and economies of scale that you get from having a more integrated railway. "But I strongly suspect that if there are any savings to be had, they'd be swallowed up by the Treasury and not passed back to passengers, which I think is wrong." Around 45% of fares across Britain's railway network are regulated by either Westminster or the Scottish and Welsh governments. This encompasses season tickets for most commuter routes, certain off-peak return fares and flexible tickets for journeys around major urban areas. Railway operators determine increases for unregulated fares, though these are expected to closely mirror changes in regulated ticket costs. Ben Plowden, chief executive of Campaign for Better Transport, argued that costly fares were "putting people off" using trains. He continued: "Rising fares are not just burdening passengers, they are putting people off rail travel. "Our survey found that 71% of people would be more likely to take the train if fares were cheaper. Public support for nationalisation plummets if fares continue to rise. "As the Government progresses plans for Great British Railways, it must take the opportunity to reform fares and make rail travel more affordable." An open return ticket from Cardiff Central to Edinburgh will set you back a whopping £239.50 (with a booking fee) if you buy the ticket in advance on Trainline. However, you can find return flights from Cardiff airport to Edinburgh airport with Ryan Air for over half of the price at £108 on Skyscanner. The Department for Transport has confirmed that "no decision" has been made regarding fares for the upcoming year. A spokesperson stated: "The Transport Secretary has made clear her number one priority is getting the railways back to a place where people can rely on them. "No decisions have been made on next year's rail fares but our aim is that prices balance affordability for both passengers and taxpayers."

I tried the buzzy new Edinburgh luxury hotel restaurant that's got everyone talking

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... If I had fifty quid for every time someone had asked me if I'd tried The Hoxton's restaurant yet, I'd be able to get a room. Give me a chance, I tell people, this four-star hotel has only been open for two months. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Anyway, not visiting was giving me Oasis-at-Murrayfield levels of FOMO. At last, we booked in for a Sunday lunch, and got the tram to Haymarket Station. It's been a while since I was in this vicinity, and it's odd how much my old stomping ground has changed in a short period of time. Grosvenor Street used to be the home of some rather middle of the road hotels, in contrastingly grand Georgian buildings. Now the street is monopolised by this 214-room place, from Ennismore - the people behind Gleneagles in Perthshire and Gleneagles Townhouse on St Andrew's Square. I'd say The Hoxton's branding is slightly younger than their Edinburgh sister. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Their main restaurant is Patatino - the Scottish-Italian trattoria, named after the Italian word for 'little potato'. It's on the ground floor and along a corridor past a few glossy cheeseplants, as well as a stylish and bustling residents' lounge. (Or maybe we went in the wrong door). Prepare for a visual overload, when you make it to the restaurant, which is inspired by sunny Sorrento and Amalfi. It has an open kitchen, with loud decor that looks like it's been designed by a crack squad of clashing pattern lovers - say Versace, in collaboration with the merchandising team from Anthropologie. There are walls covered in the best pieces of crockery, like it's a glamorous Nonna's house, and a plastic jungle's worth of faux flowers. In common with Gleneagles, the staff are patient, and so enthusiastic. I don't know how they stay so upbeat, this far into the Edinburgh Festival, but it's an impressive feat of endurance. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Our waiter asked if we wanted anything from the Nibbles list to start, but we had to pass. How are you still supposed to have room for lunch, after deep-fried spaghetti squares (£8) or slow-cooked brisket arancini (£9)? Still, we did say aye to a cocktail, and not purely because this baby pink take on an Amaretto sour had the excellent moniker of Solemn Pomace (£13). It's funny, because that's my pet name for my husband. For starters, we chose the Caesar salad (£11) and the beef carpaccio (£18). Both were great. The salad wasn't really a salad at all, but a whole baby gem that had been luxuriously anointed, like the wealthiest Egyptian pharaoh, Lettucekhamun, with cured yolk, whole anchovies and a flurry of Parmesan. It was a lovely combo, and what a way for a bit of shrubbery to go. Lettuce pray. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Their beef carpaccio was a bit more interesting than the average version, too. There were feathery and velvety petals of pink meat fanned onto a creamy emulsion of Parmesan and balsamic, with a handful of rocket on top. Great start. For mains, they've kept the concept simple. There's pizza, pasta, or a smattering of meaty dishes, like whole sea bass or steak. We shared a couple of things, including the taglioni (£23), which was a little cold, and could have come with a bit more of the billed Amalfi lemon. However, the custard-coloured threads of pasta had a satisfyingly firm bite, and were clad in a rich shellfish bisque, with a large scoop of sweet and shredded Eyemouth crab on top. Gaby Soutar We also tried one of their pizzas - the haggis and nduja (£18), which seemed like a rather nice Scottish Italian partnership. We were given a heat warning, when it came to this option, as it also featured hot honey and Jalapeno. I was preparing to sweat, but this was easy - Portobello Beach in August, rather than Sardinian sands. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It had a charred and billowy sourdough base, and there was plenty of mozzarella, with a judicious amount of the other toppings. Gaby Soutar We also had an unnecessary but pleasant side dish of charred tenderstem broccoli with toasted almonds (£6.50). For pudding, the tableside tiramisu sounded a bit theatrical and crepe Suzette-esque. However, it turned out that they just scoop a big dollop out and plop it in your bowl, while you observe. I'd worry that I'd make a sad face if it wasn't big enough, like when you buy a cake in a bakery, they choose the runt and your eyes fill with tears. Instead, we went for the roasted panettone (£8), which turned out to be a take on bread and butter pudding, with a syrupy soaked slab of this Italian bread. It came with rum and raisin ice-cream and a heap of sandy biscuity crumbs.

Edinburgh among Time Out's 'best places in the world' for young people to live
The travel magazine publishes an annual ranking of the world's greatest cities, which includes surveying 18,500 locals from across the globe, along with consulting a panel of experts to determine which areas are the best based on nightlife, food, and culture, as well as factors like happiness, access to green space, and walkability. However, Time Out's latest best cities list was curated for young people as it filtered the survey responses from those under 30 to create a global ranking of the world's best cities for Gen Z. READ MORE: Scottish hotel launches 'once-in-a-lifetime' flights over North Coast 500 Topping the list was Thailand's capital, Bangkok, thanks to its stand-out scores in happiness and affordability. The top three were rounded out with Melbourne, Australia, with respondents particularly happy with the city's diversity, and Cape Town, South Africa, with Gen Z being most happy with its coastal beaches. One Scottish city made the top 10 of Time Out's list and is the highest-ranking UK city. Edinburgh was ranked seventh and topped several categories in the survey, receiving the highest score for green spaces and access to nature, according to 95% of twenty-somethings living there, and walkability, with 89% of Gen Z saying the city is conveniently walkable. The Scottish capital beat out several other top international destinations, including Paris, Berlin, and Chicago. London was the only other UK city to make the top 20, coming in ninth and with a highly rated cultural scene. Time Out's full list of the world's best cities for Gen Z in 2025
