Following the Chancellor’s announcement in July 2024, the Restoring Your Railway (RYR) programme has been brought to a close. Three RYR-originated projects were already in the delivery phase, which we are continuing funding for: Northumberland Line, Thorpe Park Station, White Rose Station. This is in addition to the three projects already delivered under this programme: Dartmoor Line, Thanet Parkway Station, Marsh Barton Station.

All other RYR projects were not yet in delivery and are in scope of the Chancellor’s announcement. The Spending Review, announced by the Chancellor at Budget, will consider the funding available for rail enhancements and schemes will be considered as part of that process.
