The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of public transport connectivity between Grays and Ebbsfleet.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government is investing in bus services and has confirmed over £3 billion from 2026/27 to support local leaders and bus operators across the country to improve bus services for millions of passengers.
To support public transport connectivity between Grays and Ebbsfleet, the department has allocated Kent County Council £78.3 million and Thurrock Council £6.5 million between 2026 and 2029. They will have the flexibility to use this funding to meet local needs and reflect local priorities.
