The potential cancellation of 36 schemes under the Labour government represents a significant setback for rail transport, undermining promises to expand the railway network.
Stephen Goss from the Campaign for Better Transport expressed disappointment saying, 'Labour had been promising before the election that they were going to get Britain moving'.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves' decision to review the RYR programme, which was previously focused on expanding railway lines, highlights the challenges of the government's budget.
Key projects like the Portishead to Bristol line and White Rose station in Leeds are among the schemes facing cancellation amid a £22 billion budget shortfall.
