Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding her Department is providing for public transport projects in the North East.
We announced a £200m uplift for City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements in 2025/26, in addition to the £310m and £563m already allocated to Tees Valley and North East Combined Authority respectively. We announced a further £31m for buses in the region; reopened the Northumberland Line and funded new Metro trains.
