There are currently no plans to move Civil Servant jobs in the Department for Transport to York. The department has committed to have 650 roles across Leeds and Birmingham by 2025, in support of the Government’s commitment to relocate 22,000 Civil Service roles out of London and the South East. There are currently no confirmed plans for any of the Department’s non-departmental bodies to move to York. The Department will continue to work with the Places for Growth Programme based in the Cabinet Office to consider locations outside of London and the South East as part of our future workforce strategy.

With respect to the GBR headquarters, the location for this has not been decided and the details of the selection process will be announced shortly.
