LETTERS: Make rail fares tax deductible

Railway passengers in this country have been penalised for far too long, imposed upon with inflation-busting increases in commuter costs. These record increases in fares have destabilised the economy because it subtracts disposable income from family budgets. The railway commuter is a voter too, David Cameron, and they have not been listened to. I believe that if the Government can not be bothered to control the costs imposed upon commuters and railway passengers in general then it should implement this radical idea that has much public support: Railway fares should be made tax deductible thus cutting tax bills for the majority of the population who have suffered enough because of political incompetence.
