"Fares routed between different stations could still be priced separately. The study uses the example of Birmingham New Street to London Euston, where the fare could be the same on both the fast Avanti and slow West Midlands services when both operators come within Great British Railways" That is a major flaw if you want address crowding issues. Fast or Slow for the same money? Let me see. I hope there aren't other examples of such an idea.
