Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help reduce rail fares in (a) Surrey and (b) Surrey Heath constituency.

For some stations in Surrey, we have simplified the complicated web of tickets by having one Peak and one Off-Peak price, with some fares changing and others being removed as part of improvements to ticketing via pay-as-you-go with contactless expansion. This will allow passengers greater flexibility in their choice of tickets, with some seeing a reduction in their ticket price.

On 23 November the Chancellor and Transport Secretary announced that rail fares will be frozen for the first time in 30 years. Over a billion journeys are going to be affected by this freeze with season tickets, anytime returns on commuter routes, and off-peak returns on longer-distance routes all subject to the freeze.

For specifics on the savings his constituents can make, I refer the Honourable Member to the response provided to him for Question 98719 on 17 December.
