To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 17 June to Question 9171, what passenger revenue assumptions underpinned the forecast £464.6 million reduction in Support for Passenger Rail Services in 2025-26; and what the actual passenger revenue outturn was.
- Answer
-
The £464.6m reduction to 2025-26 Estimates was on the assumption of an increase in revenue compared to 2024/25. Revenue outturn was lower than the 2025/26 forecast due to a number of factors, including changing consumer behaviour, with passengers taking more advantage of good value advance fares and increased use of railcards.
