	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2016 answer text <p>The cost of annual season tickets varies by route. The Department for Transport has access to commercially confidential information which allows us to assess how many season tickets have been sold at which prices, to determine the average season ticket price. This process was originally carried out using 13/14 sales data and then increased in line with regulated fares policy. Because this information is derived from information we are licensed to use, from the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC), we are not able to share this publically.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 26/02/2016 13:03:41 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
