Train fares are to rise by 3.8% in March, the Department for Transport (DfT) has confirmed.
Rail minister Chris Heaton-Harris said fares were being capped "in line with inflation" and it would allow further investment in the railways.
But despite being capped, the rise - based on the rate of retail price inflation (RPI) in July - is the largest since 2013, according to figures from industry body the Rail Delivery Group (RDG).
"Next year's rail fare rise will be 3.8%, below current retail price inflation of 7.1 per cent," the DfT said.
It added: "The government will not increase fares by RPI plus 1%, as it did in 2021."
The DfT said the rise would help meet the costs of keeping services running during the pandemic and "pay for service increases and improvements on many lines which began this week".
Here are 10 examples of potential annual rail fare rises across Britain from March 2022.
