    TRAIN fares in Britain are the highest in Europe, according to a survey for the Liberal-Democrats.

    The survey is reported in the Daily Telegraph, which says Britons pay more to travel by rail than anyone else in Europe, after the research revealed that £10 will buy commuters an average of 38 miles. That is almost three times the cost of travelling the same distance in France.

    Travellers who pay £10 to travel 38 miles in Britain get a better deal in Ireland (44 miles), Germany (55 miles), Switzerland (64 miles), Belgium (80 miles), Spain (97 miles), Netherlands (98 miles), Finland (105 miles), France (107 miles), Austria (121 miles), Slovenia (202 miles), Italy (223 miles), Czech Republic (259 miles), Hungary (279 miles), Poland (315 miles) and Slovakia (335 miles).

    Tom Brake, the transport spokesman for the Liberal Democrats, who compiled the report, said: "Ten pounds in Britain will barely take you from one county to the next — in Europe it takes you to the next country. The Government's transport policy is failing."
