Passenger advocacy group, Campaign for Better Transport, wants those cheaper prices expanded beyond the app.

“It’s fantastic to see innovative schemes like this that make use of the latest technology for smart phones,” says policy and campaigns chief Silviya Barrett.

“But not everyone has access to this. So what we would like to see is schemes like that extended to other platforms, so that everyone can access the best prices, regardless of how they buy their train tickets.”

In November, the government announced rail fares in England would be frozen next year for the first time in 30 years.

The freeze until March 2027 will apply to regulated fares, which includes season tickets and off-peak returns.
