For the financial years 15/16 to 19/20 the Secretary of State for Transport has provided £12.084 billion in funding for renewals contracts let by Network Rail in England and Wales. However, these figures do include some internal costs, such as staff and materials. Due to the way in which Network Rail record expenditure, it is not possible to extrapolate the internal costs from these figures.
