Railways: Fares

Asked by Dr Roz SavageLiberal DemocratDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 8 September 2026UIN 25334

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of rail journeys between Kemble and London Paddington are made using Advance tickets rather than regulated fare products.

Answered by Department for Transport

The Department does not centrally hold information on how many, or what proportion of, rail journeys between Kemble and London Paddington were made on Advance tickets rather than regulated products. While detailed fares data exist within industry systems, the Department does not routinely compile journey‑by‑journey comparisons and producing this information would require bespoke analysis.
