answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2016 answer text <p>Expansion at Heathrow is expected to lead to 260,000 additional flights a year in 2040. While the department believes that trade benefits would come from airport expansion, the exact magnitude of these is uncertain. Indicative estimates of the trade impacts of airport expansion can be found in the Further Review and Sensitivities Report published as part of the Government’s announcement on its preferred scheme for airport expansion.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 16/11/2016 17:40:10 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps are being taken to introduce flexible and smart season tickets in West Yorkshire.
tabling member constituency	Calder Valley
tabling member printed	Craig Whittaker
uin	52288
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2016 answer text <p>By the end of 2018, my aim is for every rail passenger to have the choice of travelling without a paper ticket. In the first instance this means commuters having access to a smart season ticket, and other travellers being able to buy and use barcode tickets on their mobile phones anywhere on the rail network. Smart tickets offer passengers more convenience and choice – we also want to improve data so there is better and more targeted travel information such as real time train running and platform information. My Department will oversee the delivery of these programmes.</p><p> </p><p>We have committed £150 million to Transport for the North to develop a multi-modal smart ticketing programme for the North. Transport for North’s vision is to roll out a phased pan-Northern approach that will simplify fares, slash queuing times for ticket purchases, and help passengers travel and switch easily between buses, trains and trams. The recently published Northern Transport Strategy report outlines plans to introduce carnet style ticketing early on in their implementation plan for smart and integrated ticketing.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 16/11/2016 11:39:06 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
