The Rush is on today in Canterbury at 14:54

Climate Rush is coming today to Canterbury - This year, one of their major campaigns will be on sustainable public transport policies. On Saturday 16th April they plan to travel return en masse (200 plus) to Canterbury from London Bridge, swiping in with Oyster cards (max fare £7.40) rather than buying a ticket (£25-£30 depending on the time of day).  It's the route whose fares have been most drastically increased (over 12% since 2010).  

Their point is that currently fares are too high which can only discourage people from choosing the sustainable option.

Climate Rush will arrive at Canterbury West at 14:54. For those of you who are unable to make the cycle ride, it would be great if you could meet Climate Rush - just turn up to lend support

Climate Rush is coming to Kent - 16th April

Climate Rush
We have just learned that Climate Rush are undertaking an action in London and a well known place in Kent.

Climate Rush is an environmental action group inspired by the Suffragettes. Launched in 2008 they have brought theatre and feminine flair to climate activism. They have 'rushed' Parliament to celebrate the centenary of the Suffragette Rush; they have held an Edwardian sit-in picnic at Heathrow Airport Terminal One and they have often been found - in Suffragette dress - immovable in or around Parliament.

Over the next four years our government will hike rail fares by 31%, the highest raise in fares in a generation.

We were promised ‘fair fares’ but instead prices are up and our trains are overcrowded. A complicated ticketing system makes it even more difficult for us to choose the train.

Another budget and another set of cuts. If we fail to protest, we wave goodbye to an affordable and integrated public transport system and we say hello to bigger roads, bigger airports, more planes and cars.

Join us for a Railway Adventure when we’ll protest as jam sandwiches are passed amongst passengers who are embroidering a petition and dancing to a ceilidh band: bring bunting, your picnic and red flannel petticoats.

An affordable, reliable and fair railway service for all!  We don't think it's too much to demand.
