Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department was required to authorise the decision by Northern Trains to withdraw Advance Purchase on Departure rail fares from sale at ticket offices.
The removal of Advance Purchase Tickets on the Day from ticket offices is a decision for the operator.
Advance tickets are still available for purchase until the day before travel from ticket offices but are no longer available as Advance Purchase on the Day products. Advance Purchase on the Day products are still available through Ticket Vending Machines and digital channels.
