PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(18 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to change the level of train fares on South Western Railways when it is taken into public ownership.

Asked by:
Dr Danny Chambers (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

Whilst it is our ambition through public ownership to deliver a more affordable railway, any long-term changes or concessions made to rail fares policy require balancing against the potential impacts on passengers, taxpayers and the railway.

Through future legislation, we will set out the role Great British Railways will have in fares, ticketing, and other operational aspects of the railway.
