Rail fare freeze: Campaign for Better Transport reacts
23 November 2025
Reacting to the announcement that rail fares will be frozen next year, Ben Plowden, Chief Executive of Campaign for Better Transport, said:
“We know that cost is the number one concern for people wanting to travel by train, so it is very welcome that fares will be frozen next year as we have been calling for. As well as helping households with the cost of living, this will enable more people to choose rail, reducing traffic on our roads, benefitting the economy, helping the environment, and connecting communities across the country.
“One of the Government’s six objectives for the reformed railways is that they should be affordable. As plans for Great British Railways gather pace, this is a positive sign that affordability for passengers is being given the high priority it deserves.”
