Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much Government subsidy the Northern railway franchise will receive in the next financial year.
This question was answered on 22nd March 2019
The originally contracted annual subsidy amount payable to Arriva Rail North for 2019/20 was £221m in 2015/16 prices.
However, these amounts will be subject to a number of changes in line with the provisions of the contract, many of which are not currently quantified and won’t be finalised until the after the financial year has ended.
