    Return rail tickets to be scrapped

    Major reform set as Transport Secretary also commits to Boris Johnson's Great British Railways, a new public body

    Return tickets are set to be scrapped as Rishi Sunak gives the green light to long-awaited sweeping reforms of Britain’s railways.

    Mark Harper, the Transport Secretary, will next week announce plans for new ticketing arrangements as he outlines how the Government will address a crisis on the railways.

    The rollout of "single-leg pricing" will be unveiled, The Sunday Telegraph has been told.

    It means that two singles will equal a return – making return tickets redundant – having proved a success during trials with passengers. “

    However it works one thing is for sure - it will be more expensive

    Singles all the way for Sunak and his mates, please.

      It's pretty much how pricing works everywhere else and is the only sane approach to pricing both simple and complex journeys, but I'm sure they'll find a way to feck it up.

        It’s a way to increase prices, again.

        30-day return tickets will be deemed “flexible” single ticket, thus big premium, with exact return date/time being the usual rip off single ticket pricing.

          "UK train tickets could be priced like airline seats in rail shake-up

          Return tickets could be scrapped in demand-based system as part of wider reforms to ‘broken model’, says transport secretary"
