The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will reduce the cost of the Veterans Railcard.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

We are not planning to reduce the price of the Veterans’ Railcard. Any long-term changes or concessions made to rail fares policy will require balancing against the potential impacts on passengers, taxpayers and the railway.
