Railways: South East

(asked on 21st February 2018) - View Source

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will (a) make it his policy to abolish the historic Network South East rail boundaries and (b) introduce a new structure for ticketing to and from London for areas currently outside of this area.


This question was answered on 5th March 2018

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. We have made clear our commitment to review rail ticketing, removing complexity and perverse pricing.
