Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to prioritise schemes to re-open routes closed in the Beeching cuts to promote the levelling up agenda of English regions.
This question was answered on 8th July 2020
The Restoring Your Railway programme prioritises levelling-up and restoring connections to communities across the country including where lines and stations were closed in the Beeching cuts. The Programme is designed to give opportunities to projects at different phases of development, with three elements: the Ideas Fund, the New Stations fund and advance proposals.
