Fares not included in the fares freeze

The big fares freeze only applies to regulated fares, so it does not apply to fares set by ScotRail, Transport for Wales, Caledonian Sleeper, MerseyRail, Transport for London (TfL), Hull Trains, Lumo, Grand Central and Heathrow Express. First class and Standard Premium tickets are excluded.

Changes to fares resulting from the fares reform (e.g. due to introduction of Pay As You Go (PAYG)) may result in ticket types, products and/or time restrictions being altered.
