Written question asked by Grahame Morris (Labour) on Thursday, 9 November 2023, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 13 November 2023. It was answered by Huw Merriman (Conservative) on Thursday, 16 November 2023 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Railways: Fares

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of rail fares available from (a) Ticket Vending Machines and (b) online ticketing are not available from in-person ticket offices.

Answer

Train operators are required under the Ticketing and Settlement Agreement (TSA) to provide certain products at ticket offices they operate, for example Anytime and Off-peak products. It is the responsibility of train operators to determine their own retailing strategy. We would expect train operators to take into consideration a range of factors when determining which fares are available from ticket offices.
