The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason 3-year Network Railcards have been discontinued.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Network Railcard was introduced by British Rail in 1986 on a one-year basis, which continues to exist. There has been no withdrawal of a three-year Network Railcard, which has never existed.
