Railways: Tickets

Asked by Helen MaguireLiberal DemocratDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 30 April 2025UIN 47573

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of removing return tickets on disabled people.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

We will carefully consider and give due to regard to any equality considerations as we move to improve fares and ticketing for passengers. To ensure disabled passengers are not disadvantaged, they can get a one third discount on their fares with a Disabled Persons' Railcard.
