"Bob Crow, left wing leader of the RMT transport union said: 'Now we know, the door is open for the train operators to introduce third passenger class as and when it suits them.
'We knew that this Government was winding the clock back on employment, benefits and legal rights but now they are opening up the option to dive back in time more than 50 years to the days of third class rail travel.'
But Lord Myners said:'I was astonished by the response which suggested there could be a cattle class carriage at the back or one for toffs at the front'.
But a Department for Transport spokesman said: 'It is completely untrue and deliberately misleading to claim that this Government wants to introduce 'third class' fares. "
The government has the idea of introducing a premium economy class. IE more crowded trains in standard class!
