answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2020 answer text <p>Government has frozen regulated rail fares in line with inflation for the seventh year in a row. In addition, we have already cut costs for thousands of young people with the 16-17 Saver railcard, and announced our intention to establish a new ‘fares trials fund’ to explore the benefits and costs of a clearer, more flexible and fairer fares system. Fares revenue is crucial to funding day-to-day railway operations and the massive upgrade programme we are delivering, all of which benefit passengers.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 16/01/2020 14:30:46 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

uin	2666
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2020 answer text <p>This was a decision made by TfL; however, the Oyster system, developed nearly 20 years ago, cannot accommodate additional fare zones. The DfT has recently worked with TfL to extend pay-as-you-go (PAYG) to Luton Airport and Welwyn Garden City, and in both cases the extensions involved TfL’s Contactless system but not Oyster. We are exploring with TfL how to extend the benefits of PAYG to those who receive concessionary or discounted travel, but in the meantime these passengers can continue to buy discounted tickets in advance of travel.</p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 16/01/2020 14:43:02 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
