Restoring Your Railway Fund
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 10 November 2025 to Question 86751 on the Restoring Your Railway Fund, what the value was of the remaining funding anticipated for that programme prior to its reallocation under the Spending Review process.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
At the time of the cancellation, the schemes announced by the previous government as part of the programme had forecasts totalling c.£600m over the period to 2029/30. The chancellor stated that the decision to close the RYR scheme saved £85m of funding for the programme in 2025/26, ahead of the Spending Review, the remaining forecast was unfunded.
