Double edged sword of course as cost of running diesel trains will also be higher!

For road diesel
In the UK, standard road diesel (white diesel) is subject to a flat fuel duty rate of 52.95 pence per litre, alongside VAT at 20%, which is charged on both the product price and the duty itself.
So a £2.00 litre that's 86p duty and VAT, and 114p for the fuel. Up from (example0 £1.50 per litre, from which just 72p to HMG
What is the situation with train diesel?
