Railways: Tickets

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have for establishing a rail miles loyalty scheme to attract more people to the railways and to end the fragmentation of rail services and any resulting confusion about tickets.

Answer

This Government has set out its ambition to simplify the ticketing system and drive innovation across the network. Affordability is one of our key objectives – so that prices are kept, wherever possible, at a point that works for both passengers and taxpayers.

Once established, I expect Great British Railways to consider the potential for loyalty schemes, as part of our intention to encourage the highest number of passengers to use our railways.
