East Coast Railway Line: Fares
(asked on 22nd April 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish the results of the trial of single leg pricing on the East Coast main line.
This question was answered on 28th April 2021
On 2 January 2020 we launched a single leg pricing trial on LNER routes from London to Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh. Due to the pandemic, passenger numbers fell to 5% of usual demand. Once demand recovers and further data is collected, the trial will be evaluated and those findings used to inform the development of wider plans for improving fares.
