Department for Transport written question – answered at on 7 December 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent steps she has taken to help prevent (a) high increases to passenger rail fares and (b) overcrowding on trains.
In August we guaranteed we will not be increasing fares as much as the July RPI figure and we will freeze fares until March 2023. There are also several railcards available to passengers that offer discounts against most rail fares.
The Department is working closely with operators to ensure they provide rail timetables that meet new passenger travel patterns, are fit for the future, and carefully balance cost, capacity and performance.
