Railway Network: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding she has allocated to maintain and modernise rail infrastructure.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The recent Spending Review confirmed £10.2billion for rail infrastructure enhancements over the next four years. Network Rail’s funding for the operation, maintenance and renewal of the network from 2024 to 2029 was set at £44.1 billion, excluding enhancements. This government remains committed to this settlement.
