Restoring Your Railway Fund - Round 3 Bids Received


The Department for Transport is two thirds through its £500 million Restoring Your Railway Fund. The Fund is now closed for any further bids and the funding is being split in 3 ways to offer support to projects at different phases of development:


Ideas Fund

This will provide support to proposals to reinstate axed local services. These should be sponsored by MPs working with local authorities and community groups.


Advanced proposals

As well as looking for new ideas, the £500 million fund will be used to help accelerate the development of closed lines and stations which are already in the process of being considered for restoration.


Proposals for new and restored stations

A new round of the New Stations Fund will support both the development of new stations and the restoration of old station sites.
