Will the Welsh Government commit to freezing rail fares in Wales?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
| Answered on 04/12/2025
We are determined to keep the cost of rail travel down for passengers, delivering value for money for the fares they pay whilst maintaining a firm control of public spending. Initiatives such as Pay-As-You-Go ticketing, concessionary fares and discounted products for young people continue to make a big difference to passengers and we are committed to further improving value.
Changes to rail fares in Wales are currently under review, with affordability for passengers a key consideration. This will be assessed alongside the UK Government’s Autumn Budget and associated implications on available funding. Further information will be released in due course.
