Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if it is her policy that under GBR all railcards will be available to purchase and renew at ticket offices.

The Government has set out that Great British Railways will have a broad retail function, using all available channels to serve passengers. The Railways Bill will deliver the statutory basis for this function.

For various operational and technical reasons, it is not possible to sell certain railcards at station ticket offices.
