	Revised fares from 3 January 2012
	Arriva Midlands' Managing Director, Bob Hind explained, "No one likes to increase their prices especially at such a difficult time but, as everyone knows from their domestic bills, costs are steadily rising. The latest retail price index showed that inflation is currently running at 5.4%. But we’ve worked hard behind the scenes to ensure that the overall increase in our fares will be kept as low as possible." For further details on the fares increase, please click here>>
