Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of abolishing peak time pricing on rail fares to and from Devon.

Peak and off-peak fares are an important tool to manage demand and alleviate crowding on peak time services by encouraging those who can travel off-peak to do so. Any changes to rail policy need to balance affordability for both passengers and taxpayers to ensure everyone gets a fair deal.
