Northern: Prosecutions

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had discussions with Northern rail on fare prosecutions.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Secretary of State has made clear she expects all operators to ensure their policy on ticketing is clear and fair for passengers at all times. Ticketing has become far too complicated, which is why we plan to simplify it as part of the biggest overhaul of our railways in a generation.
