Good news for transport in Comprehensive Spending Review
Responding to the Comprehensive Spending Review today, Ben Plowden, Chief Executive of Campaign for Better Transport, said:
“Based on the Chancellor’s initial speech, it looks like good news for transport today, with capital investment for our city regions and the areas outside them, and funding for much needed rail projects across the country. We’re also really pleased that the £3 fare cap for single bus journeys outside of London is being extended, something passengers will also welcome.”
“Whilst we acknowledge the funding challenges that government faces, we are concerned about the potential impact of an overall cut in revenue investment for transport and what this will mean in practice.”
