Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to restore previously closed rail lines.
This question was answered on 8th February 2022
In January 2020 the Government pledged £500 million for the Restoring Your Railway programme to deliver on our manifesto commitment to start reopening lines and stations to reconnect smaller communities, regenerate local economies and improve access to jobs, homes and education. We reopened the Dartmoor Line in November, the first line to be reinstated under the programme, and are supporting over 45 schemes at different stages of development with funding and advice.
