You need to get most of the way through the press release before they admit it's a cut. Albeit a small one.
"In real terms (i.e. 2023/24 prices), the CP7 plan for England & Wales and Scotland amounts to £42.8bn compared to £43bn in CP6."

Tourism reliant businesses in the Scottish Highlands have slammed the operator of a "lucrative" steam train service for refusing to comply with safety requirements that would allow it to continue to operate.

WCR told The Scotsman on Friday the compliant carriages had been part of its fleet for 20 years and had planned to have them “ready for use” at the start of the season, but its engineers had “encountered some challenges and were only able to get them ready for service from mid-April”.

So presumably WCRC were just trying it on when they said it would cost them £7m to fit the Jacobite rake with CDL, given that they now seem to have had compliant stock in their fleet all along. Seven-letter <rule2> word beginning with t (plural).
Does JK know that the Jacobite used to have a "Harry Potter" coach, I wonder. If so then I'm surprised they didn't try to get her to lobby the DfT (along with their local MPs and sundry others) to tell the nasty ORR to stop insisting that WCRC comply with the law. (The DfT very sensibly said that it wasn't a matter for them to get involved with.)
