Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of delaying the establishment of Great British Railways beyond the initial expected timetable on the introduction of a single ticketing offer.

The Plan for Rail sets out our aim to improve rail online retail, ending the current confusion passengers face with multiple train operating company websites. We are continuing to work with the sector to tackle the challenges set out in the Plan for Rail, including improving online retail for the benefit of passengers, and will introduce rail reform legislation as soon as possible, when Parliamentary time allows.
