Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government, given the postponement of legislation regarding the creation of Great British Railways, what plans they have to simplify the current railway fare structure.
We have been clear in the Plan for Rail White Paper we want to simplify the current mass of complicated fares and tickets, whilst protecting affordable turn up and go tickets and season tickets.
We will continue to work with the sector to tackle the challenges Keith Williams set out in the Plan for Rail, including improving fares, ticketing and retail.
