answer text <p>Funding from Network North will go to a combination of projects including additional funding to existing work, restarting important work that had previously been paused, and to new projects and schemes that are being developed, as set out in the announcement. Many schemes included in Network North have been announced, with projects due to be delivered at various times over the next decade and beyond. Further information is available on the government website. For example:</p><ul><li>We have already extended the £2 national bus fare cap, which will now continue to December 2024. This has been backed by further Government investment of over £200 million reallocated from HS2 Phase 2. This means that almost £600 million will have been provided to continue capping single bus fares at £2 in England outside London until the end of 2024.</li><li>The Midlands Rail hub will now be fully funded. We are increasing investment to £1.75 billion, connecting more than 50 stations.</li><li>In December, we also announced £8.3 billion of additional highways maintenance funding over the period 2023 to 2034 and the next 11 years for local road resurfacing and wider maintenance.</li><li>The £4.7bn Local Transport Fund and allocations by local authority was announced on 26 February 2024, this provides transformative levels of funding for local authorities to spend on transport priorities in their areas.</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Plan for Rail proposes the biggest shake-up of rail in a generation. We have already made progress on fares and ticketing reforms, for example introducing flexible season tickets, expanding single leg pricing to most of London North Eastern Railway’s (LNER) network and committing to Pay As You Go (PAYG) in urban areas across the country.</p><p> </p><p>In February we announced that PAYG pilots in both Manchester and the West Midlands are due to be launched in 2025, expanding pay as you go to an additional 92 rail stations. We will also be extending contactless PAYG ticketing to 53 additional stations in the South East.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, on 16 January this year, LNER began selling tickets for its two year long “Simpler Fares” pilot, for travel from 5 February. This pilot involves removing the old off-peak which led to some very quiet “peak” and very busy “off-peak” services, simplifying the fares and ticketing system to smooth out demand and reduce crowding, making travel more comfortable for passengers.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

answer text <p>Negotiations must take place between the employer, which the Rail Delivery Group has done on behalf of the train operators, and the trade union over its dispute. The Government has no role in these negotiations and discussions. We remain committed to supporting the parties in the resolution of industrial action and the Secretary of State and I have previously met with all the rail unions to help facilitate discussions with the rail industry. ASLEF is the only trade union in a national level dispute, and we continue to urge them to put the industry’s offer to its members so that their dispute can be settled. On 13 May I met with ASLEF. I am also due to meet the RMT on 20 May.</p><p> </p> more like this
