Transport for the North’s (TfN) core funding for financial year 2022-23 totals £6.5m, a rise of £500k on the previous year. This is made up of a base grant of £6.1m and an additional £400k to cover TfN’s new Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) role.

The Department has provided TfN with a financial settlement that will enable it to effectively deliver its statutory functions. As a devolved body, it is for TfN to set its business plan and associated staffing plans. It is not for the Government to comment on business planning of a devolved body.
