Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what are the official objectives for the Great British Railways Transition Team; who directs its activities; how many staff it employs, including secondments; and how much funding it will receive in (1) the 2022–23, and (2) 2023–24, financial years.

GBRTT has been set up to design and mobilise the new guiding mind for the railway and create a simpler, better railway today through near-term improvements that benefit customers, communities and taxpayers.

GBRTT’s activity is directed by their Board, chaired by Keith Williams CBE, tasked with overseeing delivery of priorities set by the Secretary of State for Transport.

DfT’s future spending plans are under review following the 2022 Autumn Fiscal Statement.
