Letter here, word has it that a certain pink and purple operator is not amused as...
Thought people would like a brief summary of the fares changes on NXEA.
The changes are put down to trying to encourage people to travel off peak, and are justified because of the recent improvements, which includes the cleaning of trains :roll: (and to pay for all the NXEA rebrand of...
