Provide free travel to those fleeing domestic abuse

At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Women's Aid and the Rail Delivery Group launched a scheme providing free train travel to those fleeing domestic abuse, which has since helped hundreds of survivors.

In the London Assembly, Caroline Pidgeon asked the Mayor of London if Transport for London would look at a similar scheme.

As a result of this, Caroline is following up with the Deputy Mayor for Transport and the Victims’ Commissioner for London soon, and has written to them to set out the case for the scheme.
