Railways: Fares
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will assess the merits of the implementation of a cap on rail fare increases.
- Answer
-
There is already a cap on rail fare increases, wherever the fare in question is regulated. Regulated fares include fares used by commuters around London and other urban centres, and long distance Saver Return fares. Regulated fares are limited to an annual average increase of inflation+1 per cent., a policy that has operated since 2004. Unregulated fares may be set by operators on a commercial basis.
