Andy McDonald MP, Labour's Shadow Transport Secretary, commenting on the Government’s statement of funds announcement for the rail industry, said:

“Today’s statement of funds available for the rail industry highlights the government’s chaotic approach to rail investment: its promises, pauses and cancellations are all catastrophically undermining the industry.

“Pledges about record levels of funding will ring hollow both for passengers denied much needed upgrades and a rail supply chain haemorrhaging jobs and skills.”
