This seems a very sneaky way to slip in the price increases. Leak them just before a bank holiday weekend and then by the time the alleged justification / excuses are release it will have slipped off any possible place it would have gotten on the news agenda.
Mind you last year's report was pretty amazing in its cynicism where they basically said that they were hitting monthly and annual commuters the hardest as they have no other option.
How can they release a fare determination report less than a week before the increases come into force and a week after the deadline for ordering a taxsaver ticket at the previous price? What would the arrangement be if you had ordered a taxsaver to begin on November 1st two or three weeks ago?
