Asked by: Stephen O'Brien (Conservative - Eddisbury)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of how much more tickets for journeys on High Speed 2 will cost than for journeys on conventional trains; and how the cost of tickets for journeys on High Speed 2 will be calculated.

Answered by Robert Goodwill

The strategic case for HS2 assumes that fares are similarly priced between services that operate on and off the HS2 infrastructure. However, the key decisions on fares and services on HS2 once services open in 2026 will be taken by future Governments, as part of determining wider rail policy for the GB rail network as a whole.
