To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 10 July 2026 to Question 16176 on Railways: CCTV, whether the funding allocated to the rail CCTV connectivity project represents (a) the total estimated cost of delivering the programme or (b) funding allocated to date.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 10 July 2026 to Question 16176 on Railways: CCTV, whether the funding allocated to the rail CCTV connectivity project represents (a) the total estimated cost of delivering the programme or (b) funding allocated to date.
Nearly £17 million has been allocated to this project up until 2029/30. The project is currently in its early stages, with Network Rail developing a Full Business Case for the entire programme which, once complete, may indicate that further funding is required in future years.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 29 June 2026 to Question 11946 on Train Operating Companies: Finance, whether her Department has undertaken analysis on the factors resulting in passenger revenue in 2025-26 being lower than forecast.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 29 June 2026 to Question 11946 on Train Operating Companies: Finance, whether her Department has undertaken analysis on the factors resulting in passenger revenue in 2025-26 being lower than forecast.
The Department holds regular discussions with DFTO to monitor and review passenger revenue outturn against forecast.
Outturn passenger revenue can diverge from forecast for a variety of reasons. These include external factors (such as wider economic conditions and weather events), internal factors (such as operational performance and rail policy changes) and customer behaviour (such as increased use of railcards and greater take-up of good-value advance fares, which can affect overall revenue levels).

Rail infrastructure is devolved and is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Executive. The Government is providing Northern Ireland with £19.3bn per year on average over the Spending Review period. This provides the Executive with the funding needed to invest in its priorities.
However, through the UK’s £730m investment into the PEACEPLUS programme, we are supporting rail connectivity between Belfast and Dublin through the programmes’ €165m investment in the Belfast-Dublin Fleet Enterprise. The new fleet is set to be delivered in 2028 following the formal signing on contracts in June this year.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what oversight arrangements exist between her Department and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority regarding the delivery of rail infrastructure schemes receiving Government funding.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what oversight arrangements exist between her Department and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority regarding the delivery of rail infrastructure schemes receiving Government funding.
The Department engages regularly with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) on the progress of rail schemes being delivered in the region, including those funded through the Government’s Rail Network Enhancement Pipeline (RNEP), the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) and the Transport for City Regions (TCR) settlement. This helps to ensure issues related to integration of rail infrastructure schemes with the wider network are considered and managed effectively, ensuring they progress smoothly.
Forums include, but are not limited to, the locally chaired Leeds Senior Steering Group, the Leeds Station Board and the Leeds Station and Rail Partnership Forum. From this year (2026/27), WYCA will report on its use of CRSTS funding through the Integrated Settlement Outcomes Framework.

The department uses periodic forecasting processes to understand and manage variances to its budgets. This is done at the Department Expenditure Limit (DEL) control total level and therefore is not attributed to any specific programmes or budgets.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to her Department's research report titled Disabled people’s experiences of rail: qualitative research findings, published on 29 May 2025, how much funding her Department allocated to Verian to conduct that research; and for what reason that report was commissioned.

The Department for Transport’s research report titled ‘Disabled people’s experiences of rail: qualitative research findings’ cost £102,000 and was commissioned to update the evidence base on disabled people’s experiences of rail which directly informs accessibility policy.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will ensure that Northern Ireland receives an enhanced funding scheme for improvements to railway connectivity through the Barnet Consequentials.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will ensure that Northern Ireland receives an enhanced funding scheme for improvements to railway connectivity through the Barnet Consequentials.
The railway in Northern Ireland is a fully devolved matter. The funding, prioritisation and delivery of improvements is the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Executive.
As a result of the decisions made by the Chancellor at the Spring Forecast, the Northern Ireland Executive will receive an additional £380 million RDEL and £10 million CDEL funding. It is then for the Northern Ireland Executive to allocate this funding in a way that aligns with their priorities.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of funding for transport to support the Universal United Kingdom resort will be allocated to (a) improving the Bedford - Brighton Thameslink route and (b) the Croydon Area Remodelling Scheme.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of funding for transport to support the Universal United Kingdom resort will be allocated to (a) improving the Bedford - Brighton Thameslink route and (b) the Croydon Area Remodelling Scheme.
My Department is working with all Universal United Kingdom resort delivery partners to refine our transport infrastructure plans. At this point, the focus of investment is a new railway station at Wixams, upgrades to local roads and upgrades to the A421 slip roads. Together, these investments will improve connectivity, support economic growth and create opportunities across the UK.

Network Rail is working towards the strategic ambitions in the Greener Railway Strategy, published in 2025, which covers the period to 2030. This replaces the Environmental Sustainability Strategy.
Some of the plans set out in the Strategy have no direct funding associated with them as they cover planned improvements to ways of working, processes and standards; or relate to existing processes and systems and maintaining existing performance.
Where there are costs to implement the Strategy, these are assumed as part of spending plans published in Network Rail’s Delivery Plan (available online) but may not be disaggregated from broader plans.
There is no national allocation of funds to remediate historic pollution sites across the rail lineside. Where infrastructure works take place and remediation of land is required, the associated costs are incorporated within the scope of those works and funded accordingly.
An overall indication of cost allocation for remediating historic pollution is unavailable as this is determined on a case-by-case basis to ensure that funds are being appropriately allocated and spent.

The budget for feasibility work on future rail connectivity between Birmingham and Manchester will draw on provision made for future network planning work. The Government has made it clear however that we will not be bringing back HS2 between Birmingham and Manchester. The feasibility work is expected to conclude in 2028.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate her Department has made of the annual net cost to the public purse of operating passenger rail services under public ownership inclusive of inherited operational liabilities and the annual allocation to the British Transport Police.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate her Department has made of the annual net cost to the public purse of operating passenger rail services under public ownership inclusive of inherited operational liabilities and the annual allocation to the British Transport Police.
For 2026-27, for the 8 Train Operating Companies that were publicly owned at 31/3/26, the contracted annual net subsidy was for £1.5bn. This includes their collective contribution to the British Transport Police for 2026-27 of £71m. Since the start of the COVID pandemic, the costs of operating franchised passenger services have been borne by taxpayers, not by private sector train operators. This includes the costs of each operator’s Police Service Agreement with the British Transport Police Authority.
