Great British Railways: Tickets

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 3 March 2026UIN 116228

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the proposed Great British Railways ticketing website and mobile application will be (a) built upon existing industry retail systems and (b) a newly developed retail platform owned and operated by Great British Railways.

Answered by Keir Mather

Once Great British Railways (GBR) is established, it will retail online by consolidating individual train operators’ ticket websites. This will take place alongside a thriving private sector retail market, which will continue to play a key role in driving innovation and investment and encouraging more people to choose rail. Further information about the approach to GBR’s future ticket retailing website and app will be made available in due course.
