Great British Railways: Software

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when his Department plans to release tender documents for the Great British Railways app.

Answer

As set out in the Plan for Rail, we recognise that the current multitude of train company websites with different standards of service is confusing to passengers. We are continuing to review the best way to address this and are working closely with the rail sector to do this.

We want to see a more competitive retail market and will break down the systems and structural barriers to entry so it is easier to enter the market to sell rail tickets.
