Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to recommence the tendering process for the Consolidated Online Retail Solution to ensure that Great British Railways will be able to sell tickets online as well as at railway stations.

Fares, ticketing, and retail will continue to be the responsibility of train operators until Great British Railways is established. Through future legislation, we will set out the role we expect Great British Railways to play in relation to operational aspects of the railway.
