Grant funding is limited to £1.85 million, and our competitors are aggressively marketing their systems. Purchasers of those products are very likely to claim the full £2,000 allowance per vehicle, so the funding will cover only around 900 coaches.
We strongly encourage operators to act quickly and submit their applications as soon as possible, ideally on 6 July.
We are happy to assist with the application process; however, please note that the system must be purchased before a claim can be submitted.
PSVAIR grant scheme
We are included in the list given of RDG hardware providers (note the company name is Tixiom).
On 6th June 2026, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced a new £1.85 million grant scheme to support coach operators purchasing portable, PSV(AIR) – compliant audio-visual equipment for use on rail replacement services.
