Fares: North of England
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to help lower ticket prices across the north of England.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Affordability is one of our key objectives – so that prices are kept, wherever possible, at a point that works for both passengers and taxpayers. We are committed to reviewing the overcomplicated fares system with a view to simplifying it and will explore the options for expanding ticketing innovations like digital pay as you go, and digital season tickets across the network.
