Call for a railcard for the North of England

We know that public transport provision is woefully uneven around the country. It’s a complicated picture which we’re campaigning to change, but there is one regional inequality which could be fixed really quite easily.

Rail passengers in the south east of England can get a third off fares thanks to the ‘Network Railcard’, which costs just £30; but no such regional railcard exists in the north of England.

It’s high time the north-south railcard divide was closed. We’re calling for a railcard for the north of England, giving passengers one-third off the cost of off-peak rail fares, helping boost northern economies, tackle road congestion and reduce carbon emissions.

Can you help by emailing your MP? Together we can make this happen!

Email your MP: Call for a Northern Network Railcard – Campaign for Better Transport

Emailing your MP is quick and easy to do – just enter your postcode and you’ll see a template message that you can adapt as you wish.

Your MP can then press the Transport Secretary to bring rail companies together and make this happen.

Let’s win more affordable rail fares for the north of England! Please email your MP and share this action with your friends in the region.

Thank you – all the very best
