Network Rail: Concessions

Asked by Clive JonesLiberal DemocratDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 27 January 2026UIN 106394

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had any meetings with colleagues at Transport for London to discuss the availability of Network Railcard discounts at railway stations managed by Transport for London.

Answered by Keir Mather

As transport in London is devolved, fares decisions, including any potential Network Rail discounts, are for the Mayor and Transport for London. Network Railcard discounts can be applied to fares on TfL Rail services. However, they cannot be applied to Oyster cards or other contactless tickets.
