    City regions will receive a total of about £5.7bn in sustainable transport cash, while another £1.2bn will go towards improving bus services.

    Only about £1.5bn of what the Treasury is styling a “local transport revolution” appears to be new money, with £4.2bn having been previously announced in 2019 for cities, and the bus funding coming from a £3bn fund promised by Boris Johnson last year.

    “ First question of a busy Sunday media round, and Rishi Sunak has already had to confirm that his "£7bn" for non-London transport projects in this week's budget is actually just £1.5bn of new money.”
