The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether funding allocated for ticketless travel in the Network North plan is now being used to implement the scheme.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

This government remains committed to improving the passenger experience and improving the railways. We are already working with local authorities to improve ticketing in the West Midlands and Greater Manchester. The previous Government made a number of funding commitments in the Network North Command Paper, and these will be examined closely in the coming months.
