10 Apr 2026·Department for Transport·Answered
Asked

What estimate her Department has made of the total number of passenger rail journeys in Great Britain in 2025–26; what figure for passenger journeys underpins its estimate of subsidy per passenger journey for that year; and what her Department's estimates for underpinning passenger numbers are in the next five years.

Reply

Data relating to the total number of passenger rail journeys in Great Britain for 2025–26 is not yet available and is scheduled for publication in June. Historic data on journeys is published here: Passenger rail usage | ORR Data Portal. Using the most recent ORR data available (2024-25), the subsidy per passenger journey is £8.21. This captures all journeys made with the 14 DfT operators. The subsidy figure includes Department for Transport’s support for the 14 DfT operators and Network Rail. Finally, with respect to departmental estimates of underpinning passenger numbers over the next five years, the Department does not routinely publish forecasts of passenger numbers.

Pursuant to the Answer of 6 March 2026 to Question 116229 on Department for Business and Trade: Carbon Emissions and Sustainable Development, on what date did his Department (a) allocate funding to Mott MacDonald to review the Dominican Republic’s state-owned energy company's and (b) receive a copy of the review's findings.

Reply

In 2024, the UK signed a Government-to-Government Arrangement with the Dominican Republic to help deliver infrastructure projects that promote mutual economic growth. My department awarded Mott MacDonald a contract to review the Dominican Republic's state-owned energy company's, Empresa de Generación Hidroeléctrica Dominicana, national energy masterplan. This provided recommendations to prioritise renewable energy projects aligned with national targets and opportunities for UK supply chain involvement. The funding was allocated to Mott MacDonald on 31 January 2025 and we received a copy of the review's findings on 31 March 2025.
