Will the Cabinet Secretary make a statement on the Welsh Government Concessionary Travel pilot scheme which enabled pass holders to travel freely on designated rail routes up to March 2018, confirm the outcome of the pilot and the future plans for the scheme?

The concessionary rail fares scheme will continue on the same routes for the same periods until the end of the current franchise in October.   The specification for the future rail services contract from October 2018 includes the provision of the current scheme, as a minimum.
