Penistone Line: Repairs and Maintenance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress her Department has made on upgrading the Penistone rail line.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Penistone Line is a Levelling Up Fund programme scheme valued at £47.9m and is subject to business case approval. Funding for Levelling Up Fund schemes is currently only confirmed until the end of financial year 2025/26. Funding for local transport capital schemes beyond March 2026, including for Levelling Up Fund schemes, will be considered as part of the Spending Review, due to conclude in Spring.
