answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) undertook a trial on two routes (Horsham to London and Radlett to London) where passengers with a season ticket who travelled at off peak times were offered cashback for each journey undertaken. The results of that trial were that there was limited uptake of this offer and it did not deliver the outputs required. GTR will be rolling out wider enhancements to the Key smartcard throughout 2018, and the Department is working with GTR to consider alternative options and trials for introducing part time season tickets on the Key.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 15/01/2018 14:06:57 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
