Rail Ticket Information

Question
If he will take steps to ensure that members of the public have access to accurate information on rail fares to enable them to decide which tickets to purchase.
Answer

We require National Rail Enquiries and train operators running ticket offices to provide to the public accurate and impartial information on timetables, train running and fares. Both do so with a high degree of accuracy—98.4 per cent. and 99.3 per cent. respectively in the most recent tests to check the accuracy of responses.
