answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2015 answer text <p>Fares within the Northern franchise are both regulated and unregulated so any simplification will include both types of fares.　 Whilst the Northern Invitation To Tender envisaged the use of the flex to gradually rebalance regulated fares in order to remove the sharp jumps in fares that currently occur, some fares simplification can be undertaken without the use of the flex.　 We expect to work with the future Northern franchisee to explore which alternative approaches would be most appropriate to phase out these anomalies in the long-term.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 07/07/2015 14:42:36 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
