Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has had discussions with the Office of Rail and Road on the (a) cost and (b) availability of off-peak fares on the rail route between Lydney and Gloucester.

The fares between Lydney and Gloucester are set by Transport for Wales (TfW). As with any other train operator, the availability of off-peak fares on this route is a matter for TfW. Although their operations in England are governed by a set of Devolution Agreements with DfT, this does not stipulate which fares products must be available between certain stations.
