Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the health of the rolling stock market following the ORR’s determination in April 2020 that the original competition concerns identified by the Competition Commission in 2009 have not been alleviated.
In April 2020, the ORR determined that rolling stock owners continued to comply with a Transparency Order imposed by the Competition Commission in 2009. The rolling stock market remains buoyant with the private sector continuing to offer rolling stock to train operators in a competitive and transparent manner.
