Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to review the impact of rail price increases on the employment and real incomes of those who commute to London by train from Brighton.
The Government understands the concern about the cost of some rail fares and the impact that this can have on people’s budgets. That is why the Government has ensured that regulated rail fares have, since 2014, risen no faster than RPI inflation. We, of course, continue to monitor our rail fares policies closely and keep them under review.
