The comments made by Wendy Morton, the Rail Minister, on 18 June 2022.
This funding will reconnect communities long cut off from the railway.
The last time you could catch a train from Haxby Station was 1930, George V was on the throne and The Times had just published their first-ever crossword. But now, thanks to this funding, communities across England could be reconnected to our railways once more.
This fund is a great example of how we are committed to helping communities across the country level up and reconnect people and businesses to new opportunities.
