Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the financial year baseline including non-governmental costs was for the Rail Transformation Programme in 2021-22.

There was no baseline for the Rail Transformation Programme pre SR 21 (and therefore in financial year 2021-22). £38.2m was spent by the Department for Transport on the programme in 2021-22, this includes the first stage of the fares, ticketing and retail reform programme, including the expansion of digital tickets.
