Railways: Veterans

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy that the Veterans Railcard should cost the same as the HM Forces Railcard.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

We recognise the contribution of current and former members of the armed forces, with both the HM Forces Railcard and the Veteran’s Railcard offering excellent value for money. The Veteran’s Railcard is managed by the Rail Delivery Group whereas the HM Forces Railcard is administered by the Ministry of Defence. There are no current plans to change the cost of the Veteran’s Railcard.
