Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many passenger journeys were taken using Network Railcards in (a) 2019, (b) 2020, (c) 2021, (d) 2022, and (e) 2023.

The Department is not able to provide sales or journeys data on the Network Railcard for this or previous years. Railcard sales data is commercially sensitive and managed by the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) on behalf of train operators.

RDG manage and deliver the Railcard schemes, including the Network Railcard. The Department does not hold data on their administrative costs.

According to the Network Railcard website, on average Railcard holders save £134 annually. Individual savings will depend on the journeys each passenger makes.
