Are rail fares a rip off? A group of people at York and Scarborough stations think they are. They've joined a series of protests outside railway stations across the country this morning.
The demonstrations have been organised by the trade union-backed Action for Rail campaign group. They claim fares have increased twice as much as wages over the past decade... And some workers are spending as much as 14 percent of their salary on their daily commute.
