Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has announced the creation of a new fund to support trials of more flexible fares as part of improvements focused on ‘putting passengers first’. Mr Shapps unveiled a new fares trial on Govia Thameslink Railway services which will give passengers on certain routes the opportunity to buy better value tickets aimed at part-time workers.The Department for Transport are set to lay out plans for reforms of the railways shortly, in response to recommendations in a Rail Review led by former British Airways boss Keith Williams.
It was due to be published in autumn 2019 but was delayed until this year due to the general election.
