Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will have discussions with local stakeholders on a Dorset Railcard scheme.

There are many local concessionary passes that are valid on National Rail, such as the Cornwall and Devon Railcard, which have been introduced by local authorities and train operators. Any discussions for a Dorset-based railcard would be subject to engagement between the local area and South Western Railway as the relevant train operator.
