That article says it is the 'full list' of Bus Service Improvement Plan spending. With its included map giving the impression large parts of the country are not getting any of the allocated money. With only a not very clear embedded link to the government's information on the BSIP.

Here is the full list of funding:

Edit: Not shooting the messenger. Just criticising the journalism.

Transport, energy and environment

£15.6bn allocated between 2027 and 2031 for transport projects in English city regions outside London

Additional £11.5bn committed towards the cost of building the Sizewell C nuclear power plant in Suffolk, which will also require private investment

£3 cap on single bus fares in England extended until March 2027

Rules used by Treasury officials to assess proposed infrastructure projects to be updated

Is that "Rules to be updated" a bit woolly but potentially a biggie?
