Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to roll out flexible ticketing across the Midlands to encourage passengers to use public transport.
The Department is rolling out flexible ticketing and plans to go further. We have already introduced flexible season tickets on rail across England this year. As set out in the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail White Paper, we intend to introduce contactless pay-as-you-go ticketing on rail on urban and commuter networks across the country.
