Richard has welcomed the news that flexible season tickets go on sale from today for use from Monday 28 June.
Richard Fuller, MP for North East Bedfordshire who earlier this year raised with the Transport Minister the issue of the lack of flexible tickets from Arlesey, Sandy and Biggleswade stations, welcomed the news saying:
This government is making our railways more passenger-focused as part of our recently announced reforms. Commuters who only travel on two or three occasions each week can potentially save significant sums compared to normal season ticket prices. Please see the National Rail calculator to see which option works best for you.
Unlike previous carnet products, Flexi Season will be available for journey options between a much greater range of stations nationwide. Rather than being solely London-focused, the Flexi Season is designed to support commuters on many more journeys across the network.
The Flexi Season offers eight days of travel at anytime between two stations in a 28-day period and will offer unlimited travel between the two stations on each day it is used.
