"Labour has axed plans to reopen dozens of railway lines and stations closed during the 1960s Beeching cuts."

"The closure of the £500m Restoring Your Railway fund, announced by Rachel Reeves on Monday, leaves the future of projects across England and Wales hanging in the balance in a blow to small-town Britain. The fund was established in 2020 as part of Boris Johnson’s “levelling up” agenda and has so far helped finance the reopening or near reopening of two lines and six stations. A dozen more projects are at an advanced stage and 20 others have received some funding. Briefing notes issued following the Chancellor’s speech, in which she claimed that Labour had inherited a £22bn hole in the public finances from the Tories, suggest that scrapping the Restoring Your Railway programme will save £76m next year. RailFuture, which campaigns for better passenger and freight services and has 20,000 members, said Ms Reeves’ intervention was “shortsighted” and at odds with Labour’s aim of putting infrastructure and construction at the heart of plans to revive the economy."
