Written Answers
Rapid Transit Systems: Coventry Asked by: Baroness Kennedy of Cradley (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 28th January 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to support the building of a tram or light rail system in Coventry. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) Local transport, including light rail, is largely devolved. It is for local transport authorities to determine whether a light rail or tram scheme represents an appropriate intervention to address any local mass transit challenge or opportunity. The Chancellor announced the £15.6 billion Transport for City Regions (TCR) settlements for 9 eligible mayoral strategic authorities on 4 June 2025. As part of this announcement West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), which includes Coventry, was allocated £2.4 billion in local transport funding through to 2031/32. This investment aims to drive economic growth and improve access to opportunities in the region. While the Government sets the overarching objectives for the programme, TCR is devolved and Mayors have discretion over how to allocate these funds to meet local transport priorities, including mass transit. WMCA has previously allocated £5m from its devolved City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) to progress a mass transit route options study in Coventry.

Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) Local transport, including light rail, is largely devolved.

As part of this announcement East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA), which includes Derby, was allocated £2 billion in local transport funding through to 2031/32. This investment aims to drive economic growth and improve access to opportunities in the region.

Railways: Kingston upon Hull Asked by: Baroness Kennedy of Cradley (Labour - Life peer) Friday 30th January 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government whether Kingston upon Hull will be connected to Bradford and Leeds with a new rail service as part of the Northern Powerhouse Rail project. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) Our plans for Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) commit to regular onward services east of Leeds to Hull. Specific NPR service patterns will be confirmed in due course as the programme develops.
