Question

Stuart Anderson

Conservative — South Shropshire

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will reduce the cost of the Veterans Railcard.

Answer

Simon Lightwood

We are not planning to reduce the price of the Veterans’ Railcard. Any long-term changes or concessions made to rail fares policy will require balancing against the potential impacts on passengers, taxpayers and the railway.
