Natasha Grice, director for rail at Transport Focus, said the watchdog had long been concerned about the complexity of rail fares, making it hard for some passengers to buy the correct ticket.

Charlie Grice, his training partner, paid tribute, saying: "You were a true fighter who always gave your best."
