<p>The Department supported LNER to introduce its Simpler Fares trial and officials
regularly meet with LNER to discuss progress. During the trial, the majority of passengers
will find fixed or semi flexible fares to be the same or cheaper than the old super
off-peak fare, and there will be more fixed fares available than before. LNER estimate
as of 6th February that 55% of semi flexible tickets sold were cheaper than the old
super off peak ticket.</p><p>The trial will be evaluated to understand its impact
on passengers, and gather passenger feedback. The evaluation will be published in
due course.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
