Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Simpler Fare Pilot on London North Eastern Railway routes, and of how this pilot may feed into fare structures under Great British Railways.

We have conducted an interim review of the London North-Eastern Railway Simpler Fares Trial and a full evaluation is due to be completed this year.

We will carefully consider passenger and revenue impacts before taking any further decisions, including in the context of transitioning to Great British Railways. The evaluation will be published in due course.
