Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the 26–30 railcard trial on rail fare revenues.

The Department is monitoring the 26-30 railcard trial closely and analysis of the trial forms part of ongoing discussions between the Government and the Rail Delivery Group. As the trial continues to progress, more data will become available to enable the Department to come to a robust evaluation of its impact on rail fare revenues.
