Public Transport: North East
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding her Department is providing for public transport projects in the North East.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
We announced a £200m uplift for City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements in 2025/26, in addition to the £310m and £563m already allocated to Tees Valley and North East Combined Authority respectively. We announced a further £31m for buses in the region; reopened the Northumberland Line and funded new Metro trains.
