New study presents vision for fares reform which would 'bring in new customers'

CILT’s fares vision includes long-distance travel, over around 75 miles, moving to Anytime, Advance or “70-minute flex” fares, and for journeys outside PAYG and under 75 miles being limited to three fares - Peak Single, Off-Peak Single, and Super Off-Peak Single - with time restrictions to reflect demand. And “the concept of ‘different operators’ will disappear as GBR comes into being”. Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, Northern and TransPennine Express trains all wait at Manchester Piccadilly on May 5 2022. ALAMY.

A new study by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) has set out a pathway for a simple fares system that it says is easy to understand, and which would bring in new customers.
