Railways: Season Tickets
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of enabling rail users to buy a discounted season ticket using a (a) young person's and (b) 26 to 30 railcard.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Affordability of rail travel is one of our key objectives. However, any concessions made to rail fares policy must balance benefits for certain groups against the impacts on taxpayers. Season tickets already provide a discount compared to single, return and day tickets.
