Striking a more optimistic tone, the Metro reports that part-time rail commuters will be offered flexible season tickets, as firms prepare for workers to return to offices from 1 August. Great Western Railway is set to introduce a “three-days-in-seven” season ticket on trains into the capital, the paper says, with “dynamic discounting” promised on Merseyrail and Greater Anglia services. The Department of Transport has reportedly encouraged other operators to come up with similar offers.
