This is a bit short public notice to actually introduce it isn't it?

I know its been in the pipe for some time, but I would have thought a
step change like this would have been subject to a longer notice
period. Or has there been one - *public* notice period I mean, as in
displayed at stations - in which case I missed it if there has.

In fairness, what action are you going to take as a result of the
announcement that takes more than 12 weeks? Move house?
