Rail ticketing in the North: Campaign for Better Transport reacts

24 July 2025

“This is a positive example of the changes we need to see from rail reform, benefiting passengers and encouraging more people on board. It’s also exciting to see mobile data being used to identify barriers to rail use and action being taken to remove them. Affordability and simplicity are both key considerations for travellers, so welcome initiatives like this should be rolled out across the whole rail network.”
