<p>The Statement of Funds Available set out that we assumed expenditure of £47.9bn
across the network for Control Period 6. This funding is to be focused on delivering
what passengers and businesses want: a dependable railway, with an increased focus
on punctuality and reliability. It also includes funding to continue to take forward
the enhancements that now span both Control Period 5 (CP5: 2014-2019) and CP6, including
to improve capacity and reduce journey times on the East Coast.</p><p> </p><p>We need
to ensure investment best addresses the needs of passengers and freight, and that
funding commitments appropriately reflect the stage of development of enhancements.</p><p>

of funding to achieve these outcomes and will confirm the specific infrastructure
enhancements committed at which stage in due course.</p>
