<p>In January 2020, the Government pledged £500 million for the Restoring Your Railway
programme to deliver on our manifesto commitment to start reopening lines and stations
to reconnect smaller communities, regenerate local economies and improve access to
jobs, homes and education. The bid for the Beverley to York line to the third round
of the Ideas Fund, to improve connectivity and speed of travel between Hull, York
and intermediate towns, was successful. Government will be awarding up to £50,000
of funding to the promoters to develop a Strategic Outline Business Case. Officials
in the Department for Transport and Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
continue to work closely together.</p>
