Off the rails

So, train fares are going up again:
Train passengers in Scotland face a 6% rise in the price of most tickets from January - almost 2% above the current rate of inflation.
Hang on a moment; this implies that inflation is around 4%.

No, it's not. Inflation is actually running at 15.1%. The price increases will follow.

And we ain't seen nothing yet...

Couldn't agree more - since when did those in charge of large and important enterprises (including the Government) ever tell us the truth anyway. 
 
I don't suppose "QE3" and Gibson Street in Glasgow ring any bells with you?
