According to the bbc online calculator I'll be £116 better off, that sounds like an extra track day to me, happy days!

Rail fares are extortionate at times I have to agree, although when I used to commute by train & bus the annual cost was approximately half of what I now pay to travel by car, despite the fact that my old commute was twice as far. Trains are already very heavily subsidised by the taxpayer however, so that is a form of tax break in a way.

Exactly the same as me. If I add my wife to equation, we* become £274 better off.

* She becomes £274 better off.

This morning on my £4300 (after tax) commute I've had to get a bus replacement service half way then the train is restricted to 15mph. So far been travellibg 2 hours with around a further hour ahead of me. I'm not really feeling the subsidy on the railway benefitting me this morning.

According to the BBC Calculator I will be £138.16 better off. What about the 3p per litre they will be adding later this year? has that been taken into consideration?
We can't do anything about it anyway, so what will be will be
