To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to a) detect individuals who persistently evade fares on public transport, b) prevent those individuals from future fare evasion, and c) recover money owed to public transport networks lost as a result of fare evasion.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to a) detect individuals who persistently evade fares on public transport, b) prevent those individuals from future fare evasion, and c) recover money owed to public transport networks lost as a result of fare evasion.
The Government is working with the rail industry to reduce and deter fare evasion, including through the development of a new cross-industry framework and improved data sharing. These measures will help identify repeat offenders, deter future fare evasion, and support operators in recovering unpaid fares and taking proportionate enforcement action where appropriate.

I absolutely hear the hon. Lady. I know how closely related transport and its costs are with young people having access to the education and training that they need. Rest assured, this is a priority for the Government.

Students on the Manhood peninsula in my constituency have no access to post-16 education unless they travel into the city to go to the brilliant Chichester college, and those parents who are paying for a student’s bus fare are struggling to find, on average, £1,200 a year to get them there. Given that it is estimated that one in five students is not in regular education even though they are signed up for college, what steps can the Secretary of State take to make sure that all those living in coastal areas can access post-16 education, and that parents can afford to get them there?

I have been contacted by students, parents and teachers in my constituency telling me that the cost of transport is a key barrier to accessing education and other opportunities. A 19-year-old told me recently that it costs her more than £9 for a return fare to the county town of Hereford, and Hereford sixth-form college has told me that 21 young people dropped out last year because of transport problems. Does the Secretary of State recognise that the cost of travel is a big barrier to accessing education, training and work? Will she work with Cabinet colleagues and the Treasury to implement free bus travel for all young people, in order to invest in them?

The hon. Member raises an important issue, and she is absolutely spot on. I have seen the difference in Greater Manchester of the former mayor’s “Our pass”, which is still there to give free travel to 16 to 19-year-olds. I have also seen the difference it made over August for all young people to have free travel then. She can rest assured that the Prime Minister is making the cost of bus travel, particularly for young people, an absolute priority, and I will continue to work with Cabinet colleagues on it.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Great Western Railway on the affordability and availability of Advance fares for regular commuters.
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. The Department continues to work closely with operators to support a fares system that provides value for passengers while ensuring a financially sustainable railway.
