is there a complete list of round one applications i can find round two.
Hi Tony,
No there is not a complete list of round one applications that I am aware of. I submitted an FoI request when the successful round 1 applicants were published and I understand that the DfT is considering future publication. As soon as I receive a complete round 1 list, I will add them to this website.
Kind regards
Peter
HI my foi application request has been turned down for the unsuccesful applicants from round one . ? the excuse is long winded and unhelpful.
Hi Anthony. I was promised publication in weeks, which has now passed. However, I have not appealed yet because of the incident at Stonehaven, which I expect has been the priority in recent weeks. I will push for a full list in my appeal to their response that I will be submitting soon.
They have said they will release the information to public within two weeks. Tony
Hi Tony. The DfT have published the full list today, which I have added to this website on https://trundleage.co.uk/funding-schemes/restoring-your-railway-fund/restoring-your-railway-fund-applications/
