Moreover, to promote rail tourism in the UK, the Prime Minister declared a £0.73 million (US$1.1 million) 'Rail for Tourism innovation' competition which was run by RSSB's Future Railways Programme. In this, the winners were to suggest ideas on how to transform the travel experience for tourists visiting the country
