The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she plans to announce her plans for rail fares on the Greater Anglia franchise for 2026.

Answered by Keir Mather

The annual fares freeze will benefit passengers all across the country, including travelling on Greater Anglia. We are also taking other steps, to improve rail travel for passengers. This includes rolling out tap in tap out contactless PAYG alongside making it much easier for passengers to feel confident they are buying the right ticket. Passengers will start to feel the benefits very soon – from 7 December easier to understand fares will be available across key routes.
