But then those that don't use public transport wouldn't have to pay the "travel tax" and those travelling by train could reclaim the cost of tickets through "Delay Repay".

You can't delay repay because the service is so shit and infrequent that only 3 coached turn up every 15 mins

One thing that is definitely delayed is the results of this review. I think it was first announced in Spring last year, the FAB were consulted at a special meeting devoted to it in October 2023 and then, afaik, - nothing.

Dont kid yourself this survey was for the benefit of supporters. PB mentioned several times cost of running a transport scheme have increased

Anyone that would think the cost of the scheme hasn't risen must be living in cloud cuckoo land.

Yep. The club outlined that rising costs was one of the reasons for launching the review at the time. See also these minutes from their meeting with the FAB >> https://assets.ctfassets.net/rrpvig.../Travel-Review-Meeting-20-October-2023-v3.pdf
