HC Deb 16 February 1972 vol 831 cc113-4W
Mr. Dixon

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list setting out the standard railway fares, 2nd class, per mile, from 1st February, 1965, to the present time.

Mr. Peyton

From February, 1965, to September, 1968, the Railways Board charged a standard second class fare of 3.25 old pence per passenger mile. Special rates applied in the London area, and for journeys of over 200 miles. In September, 1968, the Board decided to adopt a flexible pricing policy, and there has been no standard rate per mile since then.
