Part-time season tickets trial
Transport minister Norman Baker MP has told the Liberal Democrat conference in Glasgow that a busy London commuter line will be used to trial part-time season tickets next year.
Part-time season tickets to be trialled
Part time workers who commute into the capital could be in line for cheaper rail fares. The Government has announced it's going to trial a scheme on one major commuter line next year, but it hasn't yet chosen which it will be.
The plan is to offer discounted season tickets to people who don't have to come in to London every day, and comes after the success of flexible working during the Olympics. Nick Thatcher has the details.
