Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy to extend the Network Railcard area to cover Swindon.

The network railcard is a concessionary railcard arising from an agreement between the relevant train operators.

National Railcards are governed by the industry’s railcard scheme council and any changes to existing railcards, or new railcards, would therefore be for the industry to propose not Government.
