Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether rail operators plan to extend railcards due to the covid-19 outbreak.

We are considering a range of options for all Railcard holders, and continue to work closely with the Rail Delivery Group and the wider industry to consider how best to support passengers in light of the COVID-19 related travel restrictions and returning to the railway
