Fare's not Fair - Sign the Petition


(A Tired looking) Labour Action Team at Chatham Station

Medway Labour action teams were at the majority of Medway commuter mainland train stations this morning highlighting our authority wide campaign against the Conservative increases in train fares which are hitting the commuter hard.

Labour will be standing up for commuters who face increases of £1200 - £1500, despite Kent Conservative statements before the election.

Labour will be running a series of co-ordinated activities to highlight how the commuter is being unfairly penalised by Conservatives who are pushing the burden onto the commuter at a difficult financial period.

More worryingly, the Conservative motion submitted by Mark Reckless MP has only received eight signatures which highlights the concern of residents that Conservatives are simply not listening to their concerns.

Interestingly, Rehman Chisthi still has not signed the EDM, despite this blog mentioning this issue weeks ago and it directly impacting Medway commuters.


We ask those reading to sign our petition website to keep the pressure on to government and Conservative MPs.

We will be lobbying Councillors in future months to support commuters against unfair increases.

We will not pay through the teeth for a worse service. It is not good enough.
