answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2016 answer text <p>The railway is funded by both taxpayers and passengers. Network Rail own the infrastructure, not the train operators. The government is using the increased revenue, which is paid in franchise premiums to the Department for Transport, to help fund Network Rail’s investment programme. This will see them spend over £38 billion in the period 2014-19 on maintaining and improving rail infrastructure, in the biggest and most comprehensive programme of railway modernisation since the Victorians.</p><br /> <br /> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 12/01/2016 15:21:42 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
