Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 29 June (HL1509), whether they are now in a position to publish the research commissioned into potential interest in flexible rail season tickets; and what assessment they have made of long-term elasticities of demand for such tickets based on (1) the commissioned research, and (2) the public reaction to their introduction.
The Department for Transport commissioned quantitative and qualitative research to assess potential interest in flexible season tickets amongst rail users and non-users.
This research is planned to be published in due course.
