Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much and what proportion of his November 2017 commitment to invest £360 million in UK rail infrastructure has been spent; and what estimate he has made of the date on which all funding will have been spent.

We are interpreting this question as referring to the announcement made on 17 November 2021 about the £360million investment to transform rail ticketing across the country.

In the three months since the beginning of this Spending Review period, the programme focus has been on developing the detailed technical and commercial work to inform business cases and future procurements to transform rail ticketing. We estimate that all this £360million funding will be spent during this Spending Review period.
