	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2015 answer text <p>A competition was held in December 2014 for a trial to gather evidence on flexible rail ticketing. Positive expressions of interest were received from seven operators in the South East Flexible Ticketing (SEFT) programme area; we are working with them so they can introduce flexible ticketing products as soon as possible following the roll out of smart ticketing in 2016 and 2017. A passenger preference survey on flexible ticketing has been completed and preparations are being made to model the impacts of flexible ticketing on operator revenues. Additionally, flexible ticketing products will be launched later this year by Govia Thameslink Railway under franchise obligations. The impact of those and similar products will be evaluated to add to the evidence base. To date, less than £50,000 has been spent by the Department on the flexible ticketing trial.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 22/06/2015 09:36:04 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 22 June 2015 to Question 2634, and with reference to the Northern franchise invitation to tender of 27 February 2015, whether his plans to enable the simplification of regulated fares structures within the consolidated fares baskets that invitation to tender were dependent on bidders' use of the flex mechanism; and what alternative mechanisms are available to bidders for that franchise for the purpose of simplifying overall regulated fare structures.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2015 answer text <p>Our plans for simplifying regulated fares within the fares baskets for the Northern Invitation To Tender do not depend solely on bidders' use of the flex mechanism. Whilst the flex mechanism provides one means for train operators to rebalance fares over time to remove the sharp jumps and anomalies that currently occur, fares simplification can nonetheless take place within the Northern franchise without the use of the flex. We expect to work with the future Northern franchisee to explore which approaches would be most appropriate to phase out these anomalies over the long-term.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 29/06/2015 11:28:15 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
