Stable, visible long-term funding is essential to control costs, support timely delivery, and encourage innovation and investment, and for the last 35 years have been a long-established way of funding infrastructure maintenance and renewals.<\/p>\n<h4>Clause 72<\/h4>\n<p>The Railways Bill also as currently drafted, creates new powers for Government to change legislation in future in areas that would affect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/40000-new-brownfield-railway-homes-delivered\/153617\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investments in<\/a> and around the railway, including depots, freight terminals, port and airport terminals, and devolved rail networks.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cAn important opportunity to establish Great British Railways on a stable footing\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>CECA director of policy &amp; public affairs, Ben Goodwin, said: \u201cThe UK\u2019s rail network is the backbone of the nation\u2019s economy and is a critical driver of growth, connectivity, and productivity that is vital to businesses and communities everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCECA members and their supply chain invest, train, and innovate based on clear future workloads. Any weakening of the five-year funding settlement model risks undermining industry confidence, increasing costs, and making it harder to deliver, maintain, and upgrade the network efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Railways Bill is an important opportunity to establish Great British Railways on a stable footing for the future, but this must be done in a manner that boosts industry confidence rather than undermining certainty of investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith targeted amendments to safeguard the stability of future investment and protect confidence across the UK rail sector, the government can help unlock private sector investment, create jobs, and support world-class skills in our industry, and ensuring the rail sector can continue to underpin economic growth in all parts of the country for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The full letter from the coalition <a href=\"https:\/\/riagb.org.uk\/common\/Uploaded%20files\/PressReleases\/The%20Railways%20Bill%20%E2%80%93%20Supporting%20UK%20Investment%20and%20Growth.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A coalition of groups has sent a joint-letter to the Treasury calling for Railways Bill amendments to two key aspects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":163449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[276,579,928],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-163448","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-government","9":"tag-infrastructure","10":"tag-rail-network"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Joint letter sent calling for Railways Bill amendments<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A coalition of groups has sent a joint-letter to the Treasury calling for Railways Bill amendments to two key aspects\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/joint-letter-sent-calling-railways-bill-amendments\/163448\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Joint letter sent calling for Railways Bill amendments\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A coalition of groups has sent a joint-letter to the Treasury calling for Railways Bill amendments to two key aspects\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/joint-letter-sent-calling-railways-bill-amendments\/163448\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
