The details of payments made to Train Operating Companies from March to June 2020 under Emergency Measures Agreements (EMAs) can be found on the gov.uk website[1]. This also includes details of how payments are calculated and made under EMAs, as well as information on support received by train operating companies that are not currently operating under EMAs. Further publication of payments and associated information will be made on the gov.uk website in due course. The Emergency Recovery Measures Agreements have not yet been finalised and all terms and conditions remain commercially confidential at this time.
