Any rises will Once More be delayed until March 2024, rather than kicking in in January as was normal pre-Covid.
However, One Campaign group said fares should be frozen " in recognition of The Burden high fares place on rail passengers".
Regulated fares cover about 45% of fares, including season tickets on most commuter journeys, some off-peak return tickets on long-distance journeys and anytime tickets around major cities.
Before The Covid pandemic, they were increased in January each year, based on The Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of Inflation from The previous July. The normal formula is RPI plus 1%.
RPI in June was 10. 7% and is expected to be around 9% In July , with The figure due to be published this Wednesday.
It is not known what next year's increase will be, but this year The government, which was well below July 2022's RPI figure of 12. 3%.
That increase was still The largest since 2012, according to regulator The Office of Rail and Road.
At The Time Labour called The Rise a " sick joke for millions reliant on crumbling services".
The government's latest intervention comes as UK Inflation - The rate at which prices Rise - Remains high although is starting to ease.
Millions are still struggling with higher prices for food and services at time when interest rates are also rising to tackle The Problem , Making It more expensive to borrow money.
A Department for Transport (DfT) spokesman said The government would " continue to protect passengers from cost of living pressures".
'Patchy performance'Anthony Smith, chief executive of watchdog Transport Focus, which represents passengers, said: " Nobody likes their fare going up, but after a year where many journeys have been blighted by disruption due to industrial action and patchy performance, passengers will be relieved to hear that fares will be capped below The Retail Prices Index and any increases will be delayed until March next year. "
But Paul Tuohy, boss of pressure group Campaign for Better Transport, said The government should " freeze rail fares - as they have done with fuel duty - until The long-promised ticketing reform takes place".
Since Last Summer rail passengers have faced disruption due to a wave of strikes, with further industrial action planned on Saturday 26 August and Saturday 2 September.
Workers are demanding pay rises that reflect The soaring cost of living, while also trying to stop job cuts and changes to working conditions.
The Scottish and Welsh governments have not announced their policies regarding rail fare rises next year.
