answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Department recognises that the alternative cash offer is a new approach to compensating those who will be affected by the railway and we therefore do not have the evidence to estimate the number of people likely to take it up. We have instead modelled a range of possible take-up rates, up to 75%. In order to strengthen our understanding of the potential impact of this policy, we have commissioned an independent social research company to gather further evidence and we will also be able to draw upon responses from the current consultation.</p><p> </p><p /> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 11/09/2014 13:59:32 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Government is taking action to support hardworking families by lowering the cost of travelling to workplaces and schools. The cost of regulated rail fares for 2015 will be capped at inflation, removing the previously planned increase of rail fares of RPI plus 1%. Furthermore, for 2015, train operating companies will no longer be able to increase individual fares by up to 2% more than the permitted increase.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has therefore protected passengers by taking 3% off the maximum increase for a regulated fare. Over a quarter of million season ticket holders will benefit from this move – saving on average £75 for 2014 and 2015.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 11/09/2014 14:20:26 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
