Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with representatives of rail operating companies on the implementation of flexible season tickets.

The Government recognises the change in travel patterns, the impact of COVID-19 and therefore the need to accommodate a more flexible style of working and travelling.

The Department is regularly engaging with the rail industry and operators to develop a solution and make flexible ticketing a reality for commuters. We will provide further details in line with the Government’s four-step roadmap out of lockdown.
