Total spend on Great British Railways Transition Team (GBRTT)’s consultancy support over the period from 18 September 2022 to 29 April 2023 was £20 million. Data on monthly cost for consultants supporting the GBRTT is not available in the format requested as GBRTT hold data in accounting periods rather than calendar months.

GBRTT is a temporary organisation set up by DfT to design Great British Railways, the new guiding mind for the railways. Industry specialists have been sourced through a mix of secondments and fixed-term appointments, however consultants are required to provide additional technical expertise on specific tasks.
