To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of changing work patterns on commuter behaviour on the train network.
Chris Heaton-Harris
Minister of State (Department for Transport)
The Government recognises that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a fundamental change in working patterns and that this could have long-term effects on commuter behaviour. In order to support a green recovery and new working patterns, the Department is working with industry to explore already available options for flexible commuters, such as carnets, and what steps could be taken quickly to make these as useful and convenient for passengers as possible.
