Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Philip Hollobone (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 25 April 2013 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Rail Fares/Ticketing Review

Question

Will the Secretary of State look at the cost of rail travel per mile? He will know that, compared with other lines, his and my line—the midland main line, which goes through Kettering—is very expensive for rail travel per mile.

Answer

My hon. Friend is right that I know that line particularly well, and I often ask questions about it to find out what is happening over the whole rail network. However, I should point out to him that cheap deals on that particular line can be found.
