Alongside Baroness Pidgeon, my counterpart in the Lords, I have written to the Rail Minister, outlining our concerns about changes to rail ticket terms and conditions from 1st April, which ban refunds on walk-up tickets on the day of travel, except in circumstances of disruption.

Tuesday 10th March 2026

Dear Lord Hendy,

We write to express our shared concern about the removal of on-the-day refunds for walk-up rail tickets from 1st April, with exceptions for railway-caused disruption, and to ask you and your Department to reconsider.

Removing the ability to obtain a refund from a walk-up ticket erodes one of the key advantages of these more expensive tickets, compared to cheaper and more restrictive advance purchase fares. This runs the risk of penalising individuals who buy their ticket in advance, in order to avoid last-minute panics on the day.

Alongside this, the change is likely to have a significant impact on corporate bookings, which are rarely done on the day, and may be
more prone to on-the-day cancellation of meetings due to changing business requirements.

This change could also disproportionately affect elderly and vulnerable individuals, exemplified in a 2024 Department for Transport report: 'Ticket purchasing behaviour and preferences among rail passengers'. Crucially, respondents aged 66+ were more likely to purchase their tickets from a station ticket office (48%, compared with 12% for
under 26, 19% for 26-45, and 30% for 46-65), which may imply less confidence with

Letter to the House of Commons, specifically citing concerns about increased complexity, disproportionate impact on vulnerable users, and lack of consultation, with five specific questions posed:

1. An annual fraud saving of £40 million has been stated as the reason for this change. This represents 0.35% of 2025's total ticket revenue of £11.5 billion. Do you believe the inconvenience resulting from these fare conditions changes is proportionate in this context? And could you kindly provide the data source and methodology for calculating this figure?
2. What assessment has been made of the impact on revenue from people being deterred from rail travel because of the increased complexity this brings, and will the government publish any such assessment?
3. What alternatives were considered? For example, addressing the inconsistent on-board checking of tickets by railway staff, or strengthening the technology and processes for digital tickets to prevent refunds once tickets have been activated?
4. Given this erosion of consumer rights, will you take this opportunity to state that media reports of plans to reduce Delay Repay compensation eligibility from 15 minutes to 30 minutes are incorrect?
5. Finally, we would like to ask who was consulted before making this decision to change the terms and conditions of these rail tickets?
For your information, we will be publishing this letter.

Official letter signed by Olly Glover MP, Liberal Democrat House of Commons Transport Spokesperson and Baroness Pidgeon MBE,
Liberal Democrat House of Lords Transport Spokesperson.
