Railways: Fares
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department monitors changes in the availability of the lowest-priced Advance rail fares on commuter routes operated by Great Western Railway.
- Answer
-
The Department does not routinely monitor the availability of individual Advance fare price points on specific GWR routes. Advance fares are not regulated by the Government and are managed on a commercial basis by train operators. They are priced according to demand for a particular service, and their price and availability can vary depending on the route, date and time of travel, and when the ticket is purchased.
