<p> </p><p>In order to test the case for HS2, current fares were assumed to increase
by RPI+1% annually until 2036 after which fares are assumed to grow in line with inflation.
No fares differential was applied to services using the high speed infrastructure.
This is an assumption which provides an appropriate basis for modelling costs and
benefits, but does not represent a prediction of future rail fares, which will be
affected by government policy, market and industry changes across the GB rail network
over many years.</p>
