The 500 m Restoring Your Railway fund was established in 2020 as part of Boris Johnson’s levelling up’ agenda.
It has so far helped finance the reopening or near reopening of two lines and six stations.
A dozen more projects are at an advanced stage and 20 others have received some funding.
The UK network has shrunk by half over the last 100 years , with the biggest cull of lines coming after Richard Beeching , chairman of the then nationalised and unprofitable British Railways , recommended a wholesale closure programme.
A third of the network was closed in the following 10 years , leaving towns up and down the country without a rail link.
