Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of increasing Advance rail fares on passengers who commute two or three days per week.

Advance fares are not regulated by the Government and are managed on a commercial basis by train operators. They are priced according to demand for a particular service, and their price and availability can vary depending on the route, date and time of travel, and when the ticket is purchased.
