Synopsis

Packed in like sardines, on trains that often arrive late... But it is the price of the tickets that really upsets lots of rail travellers, and fares have just gone up to record levels. So why are train fares so expensive? Panorama investigates the cost of riding on the railway.

Late train: Commuter makes every minute count

Panorama's Vivian White meets one commuter who is determined to remind train companies and Network Rail every time they cost him valuable time due to train delays.
