Railways: Fares
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when his Department will review the cost of train fares.
- Answer
-
The Government understands the concern about the cost of some rail fares and the impact that this can have on people’s budgets. This is why the Government has ensured that regulated rail fares can rise by no more than inflation for the last six years. The Williams Review is considering how to enable a railway that is able to offer good value fares for passengers, while keeping costs down for taxpayers.
