 "summary": "The ORR's index of rail fares in Great Britain each year since 1995 (1995 = 100), for all tickets and for regulated standard class fares, with the Retail Prices Index beside them, and the latest year's change on the year before.",
 "unit": "index",
 "chart": "line",
 "volatile": false,
 "status": "",
 "notes": [
  "The index follows the average price of rail tickets in Great Britain, weighted by what passengers spend on each kind of ticket, at each year's fare change: 1995 = 100. Regulated fares are those whose rises governments cap, such as season tickets and off-peak returns.",
  "Since 2021 the ORR compares fares with the Retail Prices Index for March, when the fare change in England and Wales takes effect; before 2021, with January's.",
  "The ORR publishes the change on the year before for the latest year only, so the hub shows the indices for every other year and works out no change of its own."
