UK rail fares will be frozen for the first time in 30 years, announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Secretary of State for Transport on 23 November 2025. The freeze applies to all regulated fares, including season tickets, peak commuter returns and off-peak returns between major cities, and is expected to save commuters hundreds of pounds each year. For example, a commuter traveling from Milton Keynes to London on a flexi-season ticket could save £315, while one from Woking to London could save £173 and one from Bradford to Leeds could save £57. The move is part of the government’s plan to build a publicly owned Great British Railways, with new digital ticketing and a focus on affordability.
