Return train tickets could be axed in major railway shake up

Return train tickets could soon be a thing of the past.

It comes as part of a major railway shake up which could also see paper tickets phased out for QR codes. In reforms expected to be announced this week, two-way tickets, which often work out slightly cheaper, may no longer be available.

Transport Secretary Mark Harper is expected to unveil the reforms in a speech on Tuesday, where he will outline plans for 'Great British Railways' - a new public body which will merge the way train services and tickets and timetabling are operated. If the change is confirmed, passengers will be forced to buy two singles for the same price instead, reported The Mirror.
