Railways: Students
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the impact of rising train fares on university and college students.
- Answer
-
We recognise concerns many passengers have about impacts of rail fares on people’s budgets, which is why the cost of regulated rail fares will be capped at RPI+0% for 2015.
Young people between the ages of 16 and 25 who are in full time study remain eligible for the 16-25 railcard, which enables the holder to receive 1/3 off of standard anytime, off-peak and Advance fares.
