That this House notes with concern the cost of rail travel for passengers aged 30 and over who are not eligible for existing discount railcards such as the 16-25, 26-30, or Two Together railcards; recognises the financial strain placed on rail passengers, who are not eligible for concessions, by rising rail prices; further notes that rail fares in England and Wales most recently rose by 4.6 per cent in March 2025; expresses concern at the cost burden falling on single individuals over the age of 30; believes that public transport should be affordable and accessible to all as part of efforts to reduce carbon emissions, ease congestion, and promote sustainable travel; and urges the Government to work to reduce rail prices as well as provide more affordable and accessible rail travel options and incentives for people age 30-50 for the benefit of the environment and economy.
