Railways: Lincolnshire

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to increase the level of funding for railways in Lincolnshire.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Budget and first phase of the Spending Review reaffirmed our commitment to funding for rail and confirmed our commitments to transformative major projects. This builds on the regulatory settlement for the current 5-year period, which ensures continued funding for the railway. We will be looking in detail at how we can improve the railway further as part of the second phase of the Spending Review, and through the DfT Capital Review which ensures continued funding for the operations, maintenance and renewal of the railway infrastructure.
