Travel Cards: Fares

Asked by Blake StephensonConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 10 December 2025UIN 95775

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to freeze travelcard fares in 2026.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Government froze national regulated rail fares at the Budget, delivering savings on over a billion journeys, and passengers not paying a penny more on season tickets, peak returns for commuters and off-peak returns between major cities. There are a range of different travelcard products available to passengers - where they are managed by national rail operators, fares will be frozen, in line with the announcement. Decisions on TfL specific fares are a devolved matter for the Mayor of London.
